Didn't see an article and thought she should be mentioned in the famous/infamous crime section.

On January 29, 1979, Spencer posted herself in a window in her home, and started shooting randomly at the Cleveland Elementary School, which stood just opposite. The shooting began as children were waiting outside for principal Burton Wragg to open the gate.[1] In the end, eight students and one police officer were injured, while principal Wragg and head custodian Mike Suchar were killed. Wragg was killed while trying to protect the youngsters whereas Suchar was killed trying to pull Wragg to safety.[1] One of the children, who was hit in the hand, talked about the incident on a local radio station.

After firing thirty rounds, Spencer barricaded herself inside her house for almost seven hours, warning police that she was going to "come out shooting."[1] Ultimately however she surrendered to police.[1] Although police officers found beer and whiskey bottles cluttered around the house, they stated that Spencer didn't appear to be intoxicated.[1]

When asked why she went on her rampage, she replied, "I just did it for the fun of it. I don't like Mondays. This livens up the day. I have to go now. I shot a pig (policeman) I think and I want to shoot more. I'm having too much fun (to surrender)."[2] [1] She also said, "I had no reason for it, and it was just a lot of fun"; "It was just like shooting ducks in a pond"' and "[The children] looked like a herd of cows standing around; it was really easy pickings." At the time of the shootings, she was 16 years old.[3]



Spencer's crime, her perceived lack of remorse, and lack of a serious explanation for her actions when she was captured, inspired the song "I Don't Like Mondays" by the Irish band The Boomtown Rats, written by Bob Geldof.
