John Lennon’s murderer on the day he killed him:

On Monday December 8, 1980, Chapman bought a copy of The Catcher in the Rye from a New York book store, in which he wrote “This is my statement” and signed it “Holden Caulfield”, the name of the protagonist of the novel. 

Chapman remained at the scene, took out his copy of The Catcher in the Rye and read it until the police arrived. The New York City Police Department officers who first responded to the shooting, recognizing that Lennon’s wounds were severe, decided to transport him in their police car to Roosevelt Hospital. Chapman was arrested without incident. In his statement to police three hours later, Chapman stated, “I’m sure the large part of me is Holden Caulfield, who is the main person in the book. The small part of me must be the Devil.” Lennon was pronounced dead at 11:07 pm at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital Center.
