Anonymous Narrator oral history interview, 2024 August 06

Level of Description

File

Scope and Contents

Oral history interview with [Anonymous Narrator] 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, [Anonymous] describes celebrating the end of the semester with their class that met on the second floor of Beam Hall. As alarms started to ring--but before any text alerts had been sent--they told their students to run out of the building and led them out the door. Not knowing the building very well, the narrator describes opening an unfamiliar door that led to an exit on the Maryland Parkway side of the building, facing the Student Union and Greenspun Hall. As the group exited, there were people sitting at outside tables and so the narrator screamed "Run! Run!" to the crowd. [Anonymous] ran across Tropicana to the Vons grocery store on Maryland Parkway and hid behind the building. They sought therapy two days later, and found the “Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing” (EMDR) technique especially helpful, and recently made the decision to change careers. Digital transcript available.
