john lennon shot and killed inspect an apartment building where he lived. >> the suspect is identified as mark david chapman. >> hinckley idolized lennon. that new year's eve he locks himself in his room at his parents' house, drinks beach brandy, plays his guitar, and wallows in his own misery. sometime during the night hinckley writes in his diary john lennon is dead. forget it. it's just going to be insanity. i still think about jody all the time. anything i might do in 1981 would be solely for jody foster's sake. i want to tell the world that i love her.
