This is a system working. The kid said he had his hand positioned in a way that the ai misidentified. It happens. Police got called on an old guy in my area with a misidentified umbrella. Muhhh. Nothing is infallible. The system wouldn’t be there if there was not a perceived or real crime or gun issue. Is this a daily article…nope. It’s a one off.

Edit. In 2024 alone the campus was locked down at least one for a shooting plus a serious stabbing on campus.
