Oral history interview with Ace Lagman conducted by Claytee D. White and Stefani Evans on July 29, 2024 for the UNLV Remembers: an Oral History of the 6 December 2023 Shootings project. In this interview, Lagman (a senior, English major, Creative Writing emphasis) recalls having just left Lied Library with friends when he received the text alert about the shooting. After a short debate, the group decided to head for their cars in the Cottage Grove parking lot. On the way, Lagman stopped to warn some construction workers at the Engineering building, even using Google Translate to communicate the alert to one worker. One friend drove Lagman to his apartment, leaving Cottage Grove and taking Flamingo Road East to Eastern, as they knew Tropicana would be closed. He talks about reaching out to friends, and how two friends especially helped him in the days after. He recalls a two-hour drive beginning at 2:00am, windows down, listening to music, while driving aimlessly in places where businesses were open and people were about. The creative writer talks of being unable to write anything in the first five months after the shooting; he still has not written about the event or his reaction to it. He remembers calling the Suicide Hotline two weeks after December 6 and the worker telling him he was their tenth call that day. Digital audio and transcript available.

Oral history interview with Finley Cotrone conducted by Claytee D. White and Stefani Evans on August 26, 2024 for the UNLV Remembers: an Oral History of the 6 December 2023 Shootings project. In this interview, Cotrone, Associate Professor in Residence at UNLV's William F. Harrah College of Hospitality, describes how her students were giving their final presentations to Cotrone, Lateka Grays, and Vince Eade when the alarm sounded. They were in a second-floor classroom in Beam Hall (BEH). When the fire alarms sounded, most of Cotrone's students--thinking it was a fire--ran down the stars and out of the building. When Cotrone attempted to get a student who uses a wheelchair and her friend to an elevator, an officer pulled a gun on the group. The group went into a nearby kitchen, which had too many doors and lights they couldn’t turn off. When the group was finally released, security officers escorted them down the stairs to the front exit of BEH, where the group saw the deceased shooter before being ushered toward the Risk Management building. Cotrone returned the next day to retrieve her car, and used Zoom meetings to talk with her students about their experiences. She talks about how she has not sought therapy; but says she talks about the shooting openly to gain power over it. The interview concludes with political discussions about guns and racism. Digital audio and transcript available.

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.
