The Grover Cleveland Elementary School shooting took place on January 29, 1979, at a public elementary school in San Diego, California, United States. The principal
and a custodian were killed; eight children and police officer Robert
Robb were injured. A 16-year-old girl, Brenda Spencer, who lived in a
house across the street from the school, was convicted of the shootings.
Charged as an adult, she pleaded guilty to two counts of murder and assault with a deadly weapon, and was given an indefinite sentence. As of January 2022, she remains in prison. She will be eligible for parole in September 2022.
A reporter reached Spencer by phone while she was still in the
house after the shooting, and asked her why she had done it. She
reportedly answered: "I don't like Mondays. This livens up the day," which inspired Bob Geldof and Johnnie Fingers to write the Boomtown Rats song "I Don't Like Mondays".
