The man who blew away John Lennon nearly 25 years ago says he considered himself a "white knight" on an unstoppable mission the night be pumped five bullets into the back of the beloved Beatles star.
It was a predestined act, Mark David Chapman reveals, that would make the world remember him as a somebody, and not the pathetic loser he had been all his life. "It was like a train, a runaway train — there was no stopping it," Chapman says on this Friday's "Dateline NBC," which airs at 8 p.m. "Nothing could have stopped me ... This was a white-knight kind of a thing, a crusade."
Dec. 8 will mark 25 years since Chapman approached the legendary rocker in front of the Dakota, calmly raised a gun to his back and fired repeatedly. And every day, fans gather at nearby Strawberry Fields, the memorial Yoko Ono built in Central Park, to honor the Liverpool-born legend, who would have turned 65 this year.
