This is an exploration of the first modern American school shooting, which happened on January 29, 1979, at Grover Cleveland Elementary School in San Diego, California. **Key Highlights:** 1. Leigh explains the infamous case, its context, and why it has an enduring impact on the American psyche. 2. He shares insights into the then 16-year-old female shooter, her controversial statement "I don't like Mondays", and where she is now. 3. We discuss the victims of this tragic event and how the lives of the survivors were forever altered. 4. The conversation touches on the significant societal changes that followed this shooting, such as the transformation of California laws and school security changes. 5. A look at the revealing communication between Leigh and imprisoned shooters reflects on the complexities of remorse, regret, and the pursuit of redemption. Join us for this compelling conversation, as we continue to seek answers and possibilities for prevention in our mission to 'Stop the Killing'.

Not so fun fact: there have been 200 mass shootings which have claimed over 11,000 lives in the United States this year. For those counting, we're at 130 days this year which means we're averaging more than one shooting a day. Those numbers ARE. NOT. O. K. Gun violence needs to end in this country and I feel something I can do is remind my listeners about the stories of survivors and victims. Brenda Spencer is known as the mother of school shootings. Hopefully by hearing her story, we do not forget the lives of the victims of Grover Cleveland Elementary School.

Authorities have identified the woman who was shot and killed while she waited at a Dunkin' drive-thru Tuesday morning while her 11-year-old son was in the vehicle. The Montgomery County District Attorney's Office said 35-year-old Rachel King of Elkins Park was shot multiple times while behind the wheel of her SUV. It happened around 7:40 a.m. in Cheltenham Twp. According to investigators, King was driving westbound on Cheltenham Avenue when she turned into the Melrose Shopping Center, then pulled into a line of traffic in the Dunkin' drive-thru lane. The D.A.'s office said a light-colored sedan, possibly a Ford or Mercury, was seen driving directly behind King. District Attorney Kevin Steele said this appears to be a targeted murder. He said the suspect did not try to open the door or communicate with King before firing. King was a teacher at Grover Cleveland Elementary School in the Mastery charter school system in Tioga-Nicetown.. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Cheltenham Township Police Department at 215-885-1600 (extension 400) or Montgomery County Detectives at 610-226-5553. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/leah-gordone/support

This episode was recorded before the senseless shooting murders of 8 people in Atlanta, Georgia and before the shooting murders of 10 people in Boulder, Colorado. We are hurting for all the victims, their loved ones, members of the AAPI community and Colorado community, and for our country. Hope you’re ready, we’re bringing you a variety of cases this week all having to do with SCHOOL. Nathalie takes a deeper look at some of the darker sides of sorority hazing, highlighting cases involving Sigma Kappa Omega, Delta Sigma Theta, and Sigma Gamma Rho. Rachel tells the story of Brenda Spencer, the inspiration behind the song “I Don’t Like Mondays” by The Boomtown Rats. Brenda was responsible for a school shooting that took place at Grover Cleveland Elementary School in California. She killed 2 adults, shot a police officer, and injured children who were outside waiting for school to start. There is no excuse for the horrible killings committed by Brenda, but we can’t talk about this crime without recognizing what may have contributed to it. Brenda herself was a victim of sexual and physical abuse at the hands of her father. She was abusing substances and was given the gun as a gift from her father, even thought she expressed having suicidal thoughts. We discuss how early intervention may have helped prevent this crime.
