Oral history interview with Hannah Werner conducted by Claytee D. White and Stefani Evans on August 30, 2024 for the UNLV Remembers: an Oral History of the 6 December 2023 Shootings project. In this interview, Werner, a junior in UNLV's Film School, recalls leaving her dorm and heading to class in Flora Dungan Humanities building at 11:30am. Shortly after class began, she and her classmates started receiving the University Police Department (UPD) active shooter texts. The class decided to remain in place, stacking desks against the door and turning off the lights. Hebbler suggested the students call their families. Werner was talking to her father when she heard gunshots. When the building was being evacuated, they heard banging on the door and loud voices. Realizing it was the police, Werner put on her backpack backwards, and when they opened the door were faced with guns. The class was evacuated about 3:00pm around the building and out the stairs facing Maryland Parkway. Werner started filming as they were being evacuated, sent her film to the networks, and was later interviewed by CBS News. Her dad, a Spanish teacher, was waiting for her near some nearby apartments, and they took a classmate home on their way home that night. Her class met in video calls every night over the next few weeks; Werner is still close with all her classmates. Werner, a substitute teacher, says the event has made substituting harder, is more aware of her surroundings and emergency exits, and looks to Hebbler as a role model for the way he remained calm and kept his students calm.

Oral history interview with Matthew Montalto conducted by Claytee D. White and Stefani Evans on September 5, 2024 for the UNLV Remembers: an Oral History of the 6 December 2023 Shootings project. In this interview, Montalto begins by describing his childhood in Las Vegas, after his family moved here from Anchorage, Alaska when he was five. Montalto graduated in 2000, and completed nearly one year at UNLV before a medical condition forced him to withdraw. For the next 14 years, Montalto worked various office jobs before realizing he wanted a college degree. In 2019, UNLV awarded him his B.A. degree in English and Creative Writing, and he soon found work in the Department of Anthropology. On December 6, 2023, he and his husband, Jose, parked on Maryland Parkway in front of Flora Dungan Hall (FDH); before saying goodbye, they made plans to meet for lunch in the Student Union. Montalto talks about his pride that UNLV didn't hire the shooter, and that through this, he and UNLV have "become better versions" of themselves. He describes therapy, support systems, and the power of gaming narrative story groups. He mentions the school shooting in Winder, Georgia in the context of the Columbine High School and Sandy Hook shootings. He learned he is more stable in a crisis than he knew, and he performs well under pressure. Digital audio and transcript available.

He recalls communicating through Slack to account for everyone, fielding phone calls asking for directions on where they should go, and hearing the distress through the various phone calls. He was unable to reach his daughter who lived in Tonopah Hall, although eventually learned she was safe. He speaks of survivor’s guilt from being off site and of becoming even more determined to advocate for the safety of students and staff while they are on campus. The day of the vigil, he invited three employees for lunch before driving together to the vigil. Digital audio and transcript availble.
