“On the 29th of January, 1979 in San Diego, California, sixteen-year-old student, Brenda Ann Spencer, was armed with a rifle and began firing at the Grover Cleveland Elementary School of the San Diego Unified School District, shooting anyone that was in sight.
Officers from the San Diego Police Department were soon on site to prevent more casualties and to protect the school, but regretfully, amongst those injured at the school, were two members of staff as well as eight children.
When the Police confronted Brenda about her actions and asked her why she had done this, she unemotionally replied: I don’t like Mondays. This livens up the day”.
