Have not heard of Laurie Dann.
Thanks for the info on Brenda Spencer.
I think I read about her in Rolling Stone back when it happened. I can't recall exactly when that was, but it must've been back in the 1980s because The Boomtown Rats wrote their song,
I Don't Like Mondays, after that, and that was in the 1980s. That song was about her, in case anyone didn't know it.
Oh and in case people don't know that about her, "I don't like Mondays" was what she said when asked why she shot everyone.

I am not sure if what I read is online or not. That was way before the internet. I remember when her photo was printed too. (ETA: The photo that won the photo contest. Now I remember it was also her self portrait, since every image in it was her.) It was printed in Scholastic Magazine I think? I remember looking at it and thinking there was something spooky about it. When the story came out about the shooting I recognized her quickly. Kind of a sinking feeling. No one could have predicted that, though.
Huh? What photo contest do you exactly mean? I know that she once had won a television by entering a photo contest, and the photo had something to do with dogs, she wasn't in it..
Also, she is not a schizophrenic.
