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 Musa Pam conducted by Claytee D. White and Stefani Evans on September 24, 2024 for the UNLV Remembers: an Oral History of the 6 December 2023 Shootings project. In this interview, Pam, the Associate Vice President of Facilities Management, describes his educational background and personal history before talking about his memories from December 6, 2023. He was with his team in the Campus Services Building, and they gathered together in a conference room while they stayed updated on news and tried to account for his 300-member staff. He talks about his assistant, who delivered ten sets of master keys to BEH, and how law enforcement evacuated their building and sent everyone home. He remained, completed his daily walk in reverse (avoiding Beam Hall), and photographed the deserted campus. The quiet reminded him of March 13, 2020, when Brown University first shut down due to the Covid-19 pandemic. He recalls December 7, with the campus marked by caution tape, more than 500 doors breached by law enforcement, and all the belongings that students and staff had left behind. University Police Assistant Director Miller took him to Beam Hall, where he saw broken glass everywhere, bullet holes and bullets embedded in walls, damaged fire alarms, and blood on the floor. He remembers the biohazard cleanup, and credits his team for their role in the campus-wide recovery and healing when they restored all campus buildings' systems and replaced all damaged doors and alarms before the new semester began January 16, 2024.

Oral history interview with Kirk Silvernail conducted by Claytee D. White and Stefani Evans on January 22, 2025 for the UNLV Remembers: an Oral History of the 6 December 2023 Shootings project. In this interview, Assistant Professor-in-Residence, Lee Business School Kirk Silvernail, recalls the events of the day and about other traumas he experienced leading up to December 6, including the unexpected death of his mother in May 2023 as she sought to complete the Camino de Santiago trail in Spain. He recalls December 6--his birthday--beginning with a student presentation, and hearing an odd sound when another student opened the door, alerting them to the shooter. He recalls his colleague and friend, Jerry Chang, and speaks of economics professor Daraboth “Bot” Rith, who was shot multiple times. He describes leading students out the back door of the building to the parking lot, seeing police enter Beam Hall, and hearing a volley of gunshots. After a few hours, his wife picked him up, he went home and played catch with his older son, a friend delivered cookies, and the family quietly celebrated his birthday. A few hours after he fell asleep, he awakened with the realization that he and his students were fellow survivors of a mass shooting. In the aftermath of the shooting, he changed some habits, like always carrying his car keys on his person and never teaching in a room that cannot lock and unlock from the inside. He also changed the day he celebrates his birthday. Digital audio available; no transcript available.
