Byron J. Schnell-Davis oral history interview, 2024 July 30

Level of Description

File

Scope and Contents

Oral history interview with Byron J. Schnell-Davis conducted by Claytee D. White and Stefani Evans on July 30, 2024 for the UNLV Remembers: an Oral History of the 6 December 2023 Shootings project. In this interview, Schnell-Davis recalls crossing Pida Plaza towards to the Flora Dungan Humanities building (FDH), where about twenty classmates had just begun setting up for an informal end-of-semester final session when a classmate heard from her father, a UNLV professor, that they should leave because there had been a shooting on campus. As their instructor had received no such message yet, he urged the class to remain in place until they knew more. When the University Police Department alerts began a few moments later, Hebbler and his students arranged themselves against the walls of the windowless classroom, and Schnell-Davis pushed his table in front of the door. He describes the sounds they heard and the barricade they erected in front of the door, using his water bottle to jam the door handle. He texted four words to his parents and friends: "I'm safe. More later." After about an hour, the police came to the door and identified themselves. As Hebbler opened it, they pointed their loaded automatic weapons directly at him. Hebbler and his students were evacuated to the parking lot across from campus, and they dispersed. Digital audio and transcript available.

Scope and Contents

Oral history interview with Amelia Davis conducted by Claytee D. White and Stefani Evans on July 8, 2024 for the UNLV Remembers: an Oral History of the 6 December 2023 Shootings project. In this interview, Davis, a Graphic Designer and Creative Coordinator for Philanthropy and Alumni Engagement, walks across campus daily from the UNLV Foundation building to the Student Union. On December 6, 2023, Davis took her walk earlier than usual. As she began her return from the Student Union and crossed in front of Beam Hall, she recalls students pouring out of the building, running and purposeful, but not noisy. When she asked a student what was happening, the student responded, "Shooter, shooter, shooter." Davis recalls how she and her colleagues locked the building with employees and students inside once she arrived back from the Student Union. Davis talks about letting go and crying only that evening when her friend picked her up at Target and hugged her. She talks about taking Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Stop the Bleed courses and going to the shooting range to become comfortable with firearms. She also describes how the shooting began a long stretch of work, family, and health-related stressors. Digital audio and transcript available.

Scope and Contents

Oral history interview with Stacey Fott conducted by Claytee D. White and Stefani Evans on July 18, 2024 for the UNLV Remembers: an Oral History of the 6 December 2023 Shootings project. In this interview, Fott describes being at her desk in UNLV Special Collections and Archives when the first alert sounded. The building provided a sense of safety, and Fott continued to check on students while the Library was locked down. Her husband, who also works on campus, used his scooter to take Tropicana to their nearby home. After the evacuation of the Library, occupants were sent to Thomas & Mack. She walked home after inviting others to use her home as a pick-up location because it was near campus yet out of the zone where traffic was not allowed. Fott returned to campus the next day to move her car. She recalls passing Beam Hall felt too overwhelming, so she walked between Wright Hall and the Law School to Lot N behind Lied Library. After some reflection, Fott's anger is subsiding but arises every once in a while. She was able to go home to her husband and cats, but recognizes that a number of colleagues will never go to that physical home again. Digital audio and transcript available.
