Howard Cosell:"In case the folks missed the earlier newsflash, ABC News has confirmed that John Lennon, a member of the famed Beatles, maybe the best known member, was shot twice in the back outside of his apartment on the upper Westside of New York tonight; rushed to the Roosevelt Hospital, dead on arrival. An unspeakable tragedy; details on "Nightline" 30 minutes after the conclusion of this contest.
