Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
Brenda Spencer is often remembered as one of the first school shooters in American history. Just 16 years old and standing at 5’2”, she was far from a stereotypical suspect. Yet her chilling words - “I don’t like Mondays” would be heard around the world, later inspiring a song by The Boomtown Rats.
Today, Chloe McPolin is joined by the author of I Don’t Like Mondays, Nick Leigh Hunt, to discuss his personal connection to the story and how an unlikely teenage shooter became infamous for all the wrong reasons.
