Description: I don't like Mondays. Brenda Spencer lived in the San Carlos neighborhood of San Diego, California in a house across the street from Grover Cleveland Elementary School. Age 16, she was 5'2" and had bright red hair. On the morning of Monday, January 29, 1979, Spencer began shooting at children waiting for the gates to open at Grover Cleveland Elementary. After firing thirty times, Spencer barricaded herself inside her home for several hours. While there, she spoke by telephone to a reporter from The San Diego Union-Tribune, who had been randomly calling telephone numbers in the neighborhood. Spencer told the reporter she shot at the schoolchildren because, "I don't like Mondays. This livens up the day."
