SAN DIEGO — The woman who opened fire on a San Diego elementary school as a teen in 1979, killing two people and injuring nine others, is scheduled to virtually appear in court for a parole hearing Thursday.
On January 29, 1979, Brenda Spencer shot a .22-caliber rifle from a window at her family’s house from across the street of Cleveland Elementary school in the San Carlos neighborhood.
Principal Burton Wragg and custodian Mike Suchar were killed in the shooting. Eight students and a police officer were also wounded.
The shooting was dubbed the “I don’t like Mondays” shooting due to Spencer later saying the attack was spurred by her dislike of Mondays.
Court records show Spencer, who is currently imprisoned at the California Institution for Women in Chino, California, is scheduled to appear virtually before a San Diego judge at 8:30 a.m. for her parole hearing.
Spencer was tried as an adult and sentenced to life in prison with a chance of parole after 25 years.
