Terrible. That is my greatest fear. I do not want Uvalde, so we take their mistakes and we train to make sure we are correcting those mistakes,” Connolly said, referencing the tragic event in which police did not take down the gunman until 77 minutes after the first shots were fired, resulting in the deaths of 19 children and two teachers.Connolly explained how ZeroEyes works: “What it does, any firearm displayed in front of a camera stream that has the detection software, it gives an alert to a call center in which they call the sheriff’s office.” He emphasized the importance of the technology in reducing response time, saying, “It will shave a ton of time for us to respond to an individual before a shooting even begins, so we can get there before it even happens.”The AI system sends images of a possible shooter and their location within three seconds, tracking their movements. “We want to get ahead of the game and not be reactive. We want to be proactive,” Connolly said. The goal is to detect a threat before the first shots are fired.ZeroEyes technology is being used on all four campuses of Florida SouthWestern State College, protecting 16,000 students and more than 1,000 staff members.DOWNLOAD the free Gulf Coast News app for your latest news and alerts on breaking news, weather, sports, entertainment and more on your phone or tablet.
