Scope and Contents

Oral history interview with Leslie Ann Ybarra Paz conducted by Claytee D. White and Stefani Evans on September 19, 2024 for the UNLV Remembers: an Oral History of the 6 December 2023 Shootings project. In this interview, Paz, a third-year Film and Graphic Design student, recalls the events of December 6. Her seminar course was scheduled to present their final volunteer projects at 10:00am in the Student Union Ballroom. After presenting, she called her mother for a ride home and was waiting at the bus stop near Maryland Parkway when she saw two police cars speeding towards campus. She then saw some girls on the sidewalk, and one said, "Shooter!" She tried to call her mom and her dad, but neither picked up. She joined the girls and, finally, her mother called back. She returned to the bus stop to meet her mother; she got in the car, and her mother exited South on Maryland Parkway to Tropicana and turned East (left). She then stopped in the parking lot of an apartment complex on the left side of the street to look for an apartment to live in, leaving Leslie in the car texting her friends, one of whom was trapped in Beam Hall (BEH). Leslie heard ambulances and let her brother know she was okay. After returning home, she spent time that evening with her family. Ybarra Paz shares that she feels more alert after December 6, and has grown closer to her classmates. Digital audio and transcript available.

Stephen Round oral history interview: transcript

Date
2017-10-25
Description

Oral history interview with Stephen Round conducted by Claytee D. White on October 25, 2017 for the Remembering 1 October Oral History Project. In this interview, Stephen A. Round, a career military contractor, describes his experiences during the 2017 mass shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada. Round mentions moving to Las Vegas in 2013 and in later years staying at the Aria on the evening of October 1. He describes the chaos of the shooting and the 12-hour-plus lockdown at the Aria hotel and casino. The day after the shooting, Round built a memorial around the shooting site and protected it. Once the memorabilia of that first site was taken to the Clark County Museum, he moved to protect the second memorial at the "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign where crosses devoted to the victims had been placed. Along with his preservation of the memorials, Round describes his preparation of a book that was signed by many who visited the sites. Round explains that he was able to see some of the best and worst of humanity during those days of watching and caring for the memorial sites as well as helping any victims, families of the victims, and sympathizers of the Las Vegas 2017 shooting.
