Kathy Windham oral history interview, 2024 August 08

Level of Description

File

Scope and Contents

Oral history interview with Kathy Windham conducted by Claytee D. White and Stefani Evans on August 8, 2024 for the UNLV Remembers: an Oral History of the 6 December 2023 Shootings project. In this interview, Windham, who is the office manager for UNLV’s World Languages department, recalls leading the office in preparing for the end of the semester on December 6. She describes hearing someone run the halls shouting “Active shooter!" so Windham immediately turned off her office lights and pulled her supervisor with her to hide under her desk. She texted her boyfriend, as the fire alarm started blaring, its horn just outside her office. She heard three or four gunshots and thought of Professor Naoko Takemaru, who always took her lunch at noon in the adjoining office. With her supervisor, she remained under the desk for about an hour until the police entered the office to escort them out. As a friend drove her home, she heard about the possible victims and she contacted everyone in the department; all eventually responded except Naoko. Windham had known Naoko since 2015. Windham sought therapy shortly after the shooting through the Las Vegas Resiliency Center and Victims of Crime and describes how the technique of forming "neutral sentences" during post-traumatic episodes continues to help. Digital audio and transcript available.
