The recent shooting at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas has prompted concerns among students, especially those with physical impairments, about their safety during emergencies. Natalie Matarazzo, a junior at UNLV, shared her experience, stating, "I had nothing. I had no idea what to do in that situation. I've never been in any situation like this, and I can only imagine what it was like for other people with disabilities."
