JANUARY 1979: Brenda Spencer, 16, opened fire with her father's rifle on children and staff at the Grover Elementary school opposite her house in San Diego, California. Two killed, seven wounded. When asked why, she said: "I don't like Mondays," inspiring the Boomtown Rats song.

AUGUST 1966: Charles Whitman, 25, scaled the 27-storey tower of a Texas university with two sniper rifles, handguns and a shotgun. He killed 14 and injured 31 before a police marksman shot him dead. The depressive had earlier knifed to death his mother and wife.
