"John Lennon's Doorman Remembers Singer's Final Words and the Tragic Moment of His Assassination"

Jay Hastings, a former doorman at the Dakota building in New York City, where John Lennon and Yoko Ono lived, has shared his recollection of the singer's final moments after being shot. Hastings revealed that Lennon ran past him, exclaiming, "I'm shot," before collapsing in the back office. Yoko Ono was present and urgently called for an ambulance. Hastings, upon learning that the shooter, Mark David Chapman, was still outside, armed himself and went after him. The interview coincides with the upcoming release of the Apple docuseries "John Lennon: Murder Without a Trial," which explores Lennon's death, the subsequent trial, and Chapman's motivations. Chapman, who confessed to the crime, remains incarcerated and has been denied parole multiple times.
