Like, that couldn't possibly be traumatic for that kid. AI sucks, and there are better ways to detect a kid in school with a gun - most importantly, taking teachers and students seriously when they report threats and suspicions. Too many school shootings are due to school admin not taking students threats seriously. Just like they do with bullying, and then when a kid commits suicide from being bullied, they're like, "But what could we have done?"
