  • Summary

  • "I Don't Like Mondays" by N. Leigh Hunt is a gripping true crime book that delves into the harrowing case of Brenda Ann Spencer, who, at just 16 years old, became America's first school shooter on January 29, 1979. From her home across the street, Spencer opened fire on an elementary school in San Diego, tragically killing two adults and injuring eight children and a police officer. Her chilling response when asked why she committed the crime—"I don't like Mondays"—which inspired the book's title

    Join forensic psychologists as they explore the complex psychological and social factors that may have contributed to Spencer's actions and examine the broader implications of this tragedy. The discussion covers the profound and lasting impact on the victims, their families, and the community, as well as the controversial debate surrounding Spencer's potential release on parole. Drawing on meticulous research and interviews, Hunt offers a comprehensive account of the crime that remains deeply relevant in today's discussions on school violence, mental health, and the criminal justice system.
