## Resource

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong explores the disturbing case of Brenda Ann Spencer, the teenager behind one of the earliest school shootings in modern American history. On the morning of January 29th, 1979, at just 16 years old, Brenda opened fire on children arriving at an elementary school across the street from her home, killing two and wounding nine others. When asked why she did it, her answer was chilling in its simplicity: she didn't like Mondays. But what investigators uncovered was not a story that began that morning – it was one that had been unfolding for years, in plain sight. Candice examines how a childhood marked by neglect, untreated mental illness, and a system that failed her at every turn culminated in an act of violence that would cast a long and devastating shadow over American history.
