Oral history interview with Jimmy Jones conducted by Claytee D. White and Stefani Evans on August 29, 2024 for the UNLV Remembers: an Oral History of the 6 December 2023 Shootings project. In this interview, Jones describes arriving at his office inside UNLV Lied Library and was answering emails when the first alert came across his computer screen. He called the University Police Department (UPD) and confirmed the situation, then went to the Circulation Desk and ordered the building locked down--no one in or out. When multiple groups of police arrived--eventually including FBI, SWAT, ATF, Metro, etc.--he introduced himself as the on-scene commander of the building. After the building was evacuated, he assisted ATF to avoid breaking doors by making himself available to unlock every door in the Library. Jones describes the atmosphere of the students in the library as somber and fearful. He returned the following day to check for damage inside the library, and found minimal damage except "clear" written on some doors. He also discusses racism in the workplace. Digital audio and transcript available.

Oral history interview with Sam Feder 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, Feder, a psychology major who lives on campus in the dormitory for upperclassmen, recalls her experiences on December 6. She and her housemate sheltered in the bathroom, the most secure portion of the suite. Soon SWAT came in, checked their space, and told them to remain there. However, Feder’s cane, wheelchair, or medicine were in a different room. Two hours later, police came through to evacuate the building and refused her request to go into her room for her medical essentials. Feder and her suitemate left on foot, and her suitemate was physically carrying her, while Feder remained calm and mentally carried the both of them to safety. Eventually, they arrived at the medical station near Beam Hall and were taken to Sunrise Hospital where her parents picked them up. Through that day and the weeks afterwards, Feder describes how she has learned to be a better advocate for herself, and she has a plan in place when the next emergency occurs. She is slowly moving back into full campus life, and rebuilding her social support system. The greatest assistance is her new job at the UNLV CARE Center, where she is helping others to heal as well. Digital audio and transcript available.

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. Digital audio and transcript available.
