Brenda Ann Spencer

Brenda Ann Spencer (born in San Diego, California on April 3 1962) is a convicted American murderer who performed a deadly shooting spree, during which she killed two people at the Cleveland Elementary School in San Diego on January 29, 1979.^[1] The two people whom she killed were Burton Wragg, the school principal, and Mike Suchar, the school custodian. Another nine people got hurt during that incident - eight children and one police officer. 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 reached #1 in the United Kingdom in mid 1979.
