Killer Means Awesome

Killer Crimes - Brenda Ann Spencer

Brainstorm Season 4 Episode 5

When it occurred in 1979, the mass shooting at Grover Cleveland Elementary School in San Diego appeared to be a bizarre anomaly, a horrible act of violence with no obvious motive. But ensuing decades have revealed it to be the first in a long line of school shootings. No other nation comes close to the U.S. in the frequency and severity of this particularly terrifying, particularly American type of crime. 

Listen to the first three seasons of Killer Means Awesome to hear incredible true stories. Season 1 features amazing tales about recently discovered shipwrecks, while Season 2 highlights biographies of people you really should know, and Season 3 tells incredible stories of real inventions!
