How Antioch high school shooter Solomon Henderson evaded AI weapon detection system before opening fire
[DM] Antioch High School shooter Solomon Henderson managed to avoid an artificial intelligence weapons detection system in the moments before he opened fire and killed 16-year-old Josselin Corea Escalante.Metro Nashville Public Schools had invested more than $1million into the Omnilert system, which works with all of the district's cameras to immediately recognize weapons and alert the local police department, the Tennessean reports. But when Henderson, 17, retrieved a handgun from the men's room Wednesday morning, the camera system did not notice his weapon. 'In this instance, based on the location of the shooter and the position of the weapon, it did not activate the system,' school district spokesman Sean Braisted said at a news conference Thursday. However, when police and school resource officers arrived on the scene, the system did activate. Omnilert CEO Dave Fraser also emphasized to NBC News that 'this is not a case of the firearm not being recognized by the system,' and instead, 'the location of the shooter and the firearm meant that the weapon was not visible.' Police have said Henderson opened fire inside the school cafeteria shortly after 11am, firing several rounds using a pistol, before taking his own life with the weapon. Another student was also injured with a graze wound to the arm, and was rushed to the hospital in stable condition, while a fourth boy was injured during the commotion to flee the scene.
