Brenda Ann Spencer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brenda Ann Spencer (born in San Diego, California on April 3rd, 1962) is a convicted American killer who performed a deadly shooting spree, during which she killed two people at the Cleveland Elementary School near San Diego on January 29, 1979.[1] Another nine got hurt during that incident. Spencer showed no remorse in her crime; her full explanation of her actions was "I don't like Mondays; this livens up the day."[2] Those comments were the inspiration to the song I Don't Like Mondays by The Boomtown Rats, which hit #1 in United Kingdom in mid 1979.
