New Evidence in John Lennon's Murder: Singer Was Shot With Two Different Type of Bullets
Radar Online ^ | Joshua Wilburn

Posted on 07/02/2023 8:20:36 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Two different guns may have been used in the December 8, 1980 shooting of music icon John Lennon, RadarOnline.com has learned.

According to British author and TV producer David Whelan, two different types of bullets were removed from Lennon's body during the autopsy. One was marked as a Semi-wadcutter or hollow-point bullet, while the other was listed as a 38-caliber lead bullet.

Whelan believes that the different bullet types add weight to his theory that a second shooter was involved in the killing.

The author has spent three years investigating the murder and has highlighted several inconsistencies in the official narrative, including the suggestion that police may have misunderstood how the shooting occurred.

Whelan's investigation has also revealed a 'hit list' compiled by convicted gunman Mark Chapman, including the former Beatle, Godfather actor Marlon Brando, and former First Lady Jackie Kennedy.

The prosecution's accepted version of events was that Chapman shot at Lennon five times, with four of the bullets hitting the singer in the back. However, Whelan's witnesses have suggested that the shooting may have been recorded incorrectly and that the fatal shots were actually fired into Lennon's chest.

Who says you can’t mix bullets in your mag? what was the caliber. I alternate hardball and hollow points.

I alternate jacketed hollow points and FMJ in my GP-100 intentionally. Just in case I have to shot through something that would stop a hollow point.>>> Ditto with all my mags.

***Everyone knows it is only possible to load one type of ammunition into a gun at a time. ***

With a revolver you can load various rounds of .38 Special. That revolver holds 5 shots. It has no magazine, but a cylinder with 5 holes to drop the rounds of ammo into.

That was David Berkowitz, also known as the Son of Sam and the .44 Caliber Killer.

“It’s too late to say goodbye”. And too late to start another investigation.
