Veterans demonstrate artificial intelligence to stop active shooters before shots are fired
A group of veterans inspired by the need to keep schools and public spaces safer have created a new technology they say can detect guns and send out alerts before shots are ever fired.

What if the gun was detected early โ so early, the shooter was never able to get inside to hurt anyone?
