Grinning female shooter opens fire at house party after finding out her ex-husband, new beau were talking
New York Post ^ | February 4, 2026 | Chris Bradford

A female shooter has been convicted of attempted murder after she opened fire at a New Year’s Eve house party when she spotted her estranged husband and her boyfriend talking to each other.

Olivia Clendenin, seen smirking in her mugshot, fired eight shots after she was unable to convince her ex-spouse to leave the shindig in Clearcreek Township, Ohio, according to Warren County prosecutors.

Clendenin’s ex-hubby and new boyfriend mingled at the party, which was held to welcome in 2025, and both talked about their relationships with the shooter.

Clendenin, 29, received word that both men had attended the bash, but her husband refused to leave the party.

She pulled out her .40-caliber handgun and unleashed a volley of shots, which struck an innocent guest in the abdomen.

“The victim had simply been invited to a New Year’s Eve party and found himself in the middle of Clendenin’s barrage of gunfire,” David Fornshell, the Warren County prosecutor, said Tuesday.

“Clendenin may have started 2025 as a free person but will spend the rest of 2026 and at a minimum the decade thereafter incarcerated for attempting to murder at least one of her romantic interests, albeit striking and almost killing an innocent victim.”

Clendenin’s ex told cops last year she was mad at the fact that he and her new partner were socializing.

Clendenin also crashed her mom’s SUV when she tried to leave the party after her rampage, cops told WKRC.

She was also convicted of illegally discharging a firearm at or into a home and two assault charges, and has yet to be sentenced.

She should have taken the advice of a young Mr. Lennon...

I don't want to spoil the party, so I'll go
I would hate my disappointment to show
There's nothing for me here, so I will disappear
If she turns up while I'm gone, please, let me know

Wow, how did you possibly remember that lyric from 1964? That is indeed perfectly apropos.

I Don't Want To Spoil The Party

As a young teen when the Beatles hit, this album was so different from their previous...and “Spoil the Party” stood out for being their country song.

“Beatles for Sale” is hugely underrated.

Sometimes my memory chip still works...

I'm impressed! I don't even remember "Beatles for Sale," probably because it was initially a UK release and followed all the Beatlemania upbeat songs. From Wiki -->
Beatles for Sale was not widely available in the US until 1987, when the Beatles' catalogue was standardized for release on CD. Instead, eight of the album's fourteen tracks, alongside "I'll Be Back", which was cut from the US version of the Hard Day's Night album, and both sides of the single "I Feel Fine" / "She's a Woman", appeared on Capitol Records' concurrent release, Beatles '65, and the remaining six of the album's fourteen tracks, including both sides of the US single "Eight Days a Week" / "I Don't Want to Spoil the Party", appeared on Capitol Records' seventh release, Beatles VI, both issued in North America only.

During the sessions, the band ventured into studio experimentation, such as employing a fade-in and incorporating guitar feedback, and supplemented the basic recordings with percussion instruments such as timpani, African hand drums, and chocalho.

The album reflects the twin influences of country music and Bob Dylan, whom the Beatles met in New York in August 1964. Partly as a result of the group's hectic schedule, only eight of the tracks are original compositions, with cover versions of songs by artists such as Carl Perkins, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly and Little Richard being used to complete the album.

The original songs introduced darker musical moods and more introspective lyrics, with John Lennon adopting an autobiographical perspective in "I'm a Loser" and "No Reply". Furthermore, the majority of the songs did not feature themes of love, with only three out of the fourteen tracks mentioning love in a positive light.

What a departure from the initial works that brought them fame in the USA.

Women are much, MUCH more likely to use and hurt the children to get back at the ex-husband/BF.

Some people can learn from the mistakes of others.

Some people just have to do it the hard way ...

I recall “I Don’t Want to Spoil the Party” was a B-side of a single so it was played on the radio.
I had a morning paper route and carried my little transistor radio during my 3am journeys.
Hearing it for the first time one very early morning was quite a shock from their previous hits so it always stood out in my memories.
Later, I bought the entire UK catalogue and discovered it on “Beatles for Sale”.

No need to be rude. You truly are clueless. Some of your posts are right on, but when challenged you go to personal attacks. Product of a weak mind that cannot defend their position. Truly sad because as I stated, some of your posts are right on. Learn to discuss and properly support your positions. Also learn to listen to others instead of react with insults. If you seek to get others to agree with you that is the way. If you seek to destroy others for their opinions and divide everyone, then you are doing a great job! You must be a Democrat!

And she crashed her mom’s SUV!

That is what I noticed ...

"Rather than a mental health diagnosis, failure to launch syndrome is a label for a young adult who remains highly dependent on their parents."
