Excerpt
Introduction
The popular perception of a female killer is usually wrong; she isn’t beautiful, glamorous, or exotic. Instead, the female killer is more likely to look like a kindly grandmother or a frumpy housewife. That is what makes these women so scary; they look like everybody else and act like everybody else.
Female serial killers are likely to be wives, mothers, lovers, girlfriends, friends, neighbors, and even grandmothers. This ordinariness and popular perception about women being gentler and less violent than men often helps female serial killers get away with their crimes. Nobody can believe that that nice lady actually committed the crime even after the body is found, even if she has a good motive for the crime, such as a large life insurance policy.
Another and even scarier kind of killer is the totally depraved woman who is as violent, sadistic, and greedy as any man. Such women often use sex to manipulate men into doing their dirty work for them.
The truth is that scary women, like scary men, come from all backgrounds and all walks of life. There is no common denominator or characteristic to such individuals; instead, they are likely be anywhere in our neighborhoods, our schools, our hospitals, and even our homes.
Brenda Ann Spencer: Pioneer School Shooter
Sadly enough, school shootings have become commonplace in today’s world. Yet school shootings committed by girls are rare. That’s what makes the school shooting carried out in the late 1970s by Brenda Ann Spencer so unusual.
When Brenda turned a San Diego elementary school into a shooting gallery in 1979, there had been no prior incidents to inspire her. Yet despite the differences, Brenda’s shooting spree bears some eerie similarities to later massacres such as the ones in Columbine, Colo. and Newtown, Conn.
Indeed, Brenda was very similar to more famed male shooters such as Kip Kinkel. Like them, she was a troubled loner who took her frustrations out with a gun. Yet the way she did it was rather more frightening – she used a scope-sighted rifle and picked her targets out with precision.
A Troubled Loner
Like many troubled teenagers, Brenda Ann Spencer was a loner. She was also gay, which further set her apart from her peers. Brenda was also interested in guns – her father had given her a rifle for her 16th birthday. Worse, he gave her 500 rounds of ammunition.
It was how she used the rifle that made Brenda sort of a sick pioneer. She decided to use it to shoot students at an elementary school in her hometown of San Diego. The reason she chose Grover Cleveland Elementary School for her shooting spree was a chilling one. It was a target of convenience, located across the street from her home. The school was a clear shot for the young lady with the rifle.
On Jan. 29, 1979, Brenda Ann Spencer started shooting at the students in the schoolyard from her own bedroom window. In other words, she became a sniper and terrorized innocent children she didn’t know, possibly for thrills.
Easy Targets
Brenda opened fire as Principal Burton Wragg opened the gate to let children into the schoolyard. Several children were lined up, which made them easy targets for her.
Fortunately, none of the kids were killed, but many of them were psychologically scarred for life. Wragg was killed as he tried to help the children escape from the sniper fire. The school custodian, Mike Suchar, was also killed when he tried to pull Wragg out of the line of fire. Eight children and a San Diego police officer who also tried to help the children were injured.
The most chilling part of the shoot spree were the reasons that Spencer gave for it. She said the children made “easy targets” and that she hated Mondays.
She Talked to Journalists
Police soon arrived and surrounded Spencer’s house. She barricaded herself inside and threatened to come out shooting. What happened next was even more bizarre – Spencer began talking with police negotiators and a reporter who managed to reach her.
Eventually, Spencer gave up and went willingly with police. The reign of terror was over, but unfortunately, it wouldn’t be the last. Since 1979, America has seen many school shooting sprees, including one at another Cleveland Elementary School in Stockton, Calif. Even San Diego has suffered several notable school shootings.
The Motives are Unknown
The motives for Brenda Ann Spencer’s shooting spree are unknown. The statements she made at the time of her arrest made no sense. Since then, Spencer has been diagnosed with epilepsy and depression and given drugs to treat those conditions in prison. Spencer has also claimed that she was sexually abused by her father. A dysfunctional family may have contributed to the tragedy shortly after her conviction. Brenda’s father married a 17-year-old girl.
When she was arrested, Spencer tested positive for drugs. After her arrest, police found that her house was full of empty whiskey bottles. Interestingly enough, Spencer herself was not obviously drunk or high when taken into custody.
Brenda Ann Spencer was tried as an adult and convicted of two counts of murder. The court sentenced her to 25 years to life in the California state prison system. She has been up for parole several times, but parole has never been granted. In 2009, the parole board ruled that it will not hear her case again until 2019.
Brenda Ann Spencer will probably die in prison because of the parole board ruling. Spencer is currently serving time at California’s Chino Institution for Women, where her fellow inmates include members of the Charles Manson family.
