Dystopian weapons schools are forced to use after Minneapolis massacre

Weaponized drones equipped with pepper spray, powder pellets, and live video feeds are being tested and will be installed in US schools. Each school receives six drones housed in secure charging stations that deploy when gunfire is detected. Campus Guardian Angel completed trials in Texas and demonstrated the system in Florida, with permanent installations scheduled this fall and full deployment expected by January. The rollout has split parents between support for added protection and fears about safety, hacking, and dystopian consequences. The company aims to confront shooters within seconds and to work with law enforcement and school communities to implement the system.

Weaponized drones are being tested inside US schools, flying through hallways with the ability to neutralize active shooters in seconds. Equipped with non-lethal pepper spray, powder pellets, and live video feeds, the drones launch from secure charging stations, six per school, when gunfire is detected. Developed by Campus Guardian Angel, the system has already completed trials in Texas and was recently demonstrated in three Florida schools. Permanent installations are scheduled this fall, with full deployment expected by January.

Robin Westman, a transgender woman, shot through stained glass windows at children sitting praying on the pews inside Annunciation Catholic School's church at about 8:30am local time. Two children aged eight and 10 were killed and at least 14 other children and three 80-year-old parishioners were injured. The shooter then turned the gun on themselves. Westman's body was found inside the church.

'The unique advantage of our service is that we are focused on confronting and incapacitating a shooter as quickly as possible to minimize the loss of life. 'We look forward to working with law enforcement officials, school districts, parents, teachers, and students to implement this service that will keep schools safe and protect lives.' The company's goal is to respond in five seconds, find and confront the shooter within 15 seconds.
