What was John Lennon doing when he was killed?

Answer 1

On the 8th of December 1980 Lennon left the house. He had much to do and he didn't pay attention to the man approacing him. The latter told him something and hold out his hand. There was something like a military colt in his hand. A shot followed immediately after that and  John fell down to the ground. In a few minutes he was dead. Chapman his former fan killed him on the 8th of December.....

Восьмого декабря Леннон вышел из дома: его ждала куча дел, и он не обратил внимания на человека, шагнувшего ему навстречу. Тот окликнул его, поднял руку, и Леннон успел подумать, что штука, которую этот парень вытащил из-под пиджака, чертовски похожа на армейский «кольт». Это была последняя мысль Джона Леннона: грохнул выстрел,  
он упал и через несколько минут был мёртв. Его бывший фанат Чапман в тот день убил Джона. Это произошло 8 декабря 1980года...
