Show Notes

PRERECORDED

On the morning of January 29, 1979, children gathered outside Grover Cleveland Elementary School in San Diego, waiting for the gates to open. Across the street, a 16-year-old girl sat in her bedroom window with a rifle and began firing into the crowd.


Her name was Brenda Ann Spencer. When a reporter reached her by phone during the standoff and asked why she had done it, she gave a chilling answer that would echo around the world: I don't like Mondays.


In this episode of Triggered, we unravel the disturbing story behind one of the earliest modern school shootings in the United States, a case that shocked the world, inspired a famous song, and raised haunting questions about neglect, warning signs, and how a troubled teenager ended up turning a quiet Monday morning into tragedy.
