Today,
John Lennon(October 9, 1940 - December 8, 1980)
was shot in the back 6 times in front of his wife, Yoko Ono, by a crazed fan. Sad

I was watching Monday night football when I heard the news.

Every report I've read mentions Lennon being shot 4 times, not 6. Here's how the news was reported by the BBC soon after the event. http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/december/8/newsid_2536000/25363...
I also read that Mark Chapman's latest parole application was refused.

One has to wonder about the motive & who was behind it and if Chapman actually fired those shots. John Lennon was not popular in some quarters & had many potential enemies. There are plenty of conspiracy theories, some more plausible than others. I doubt the truth will ever be known.

It's easy to see that Mark Chapman is safer in prison than he would be free. There are no doubt a lot of crazed fans who would love to teach him a lesson.
