"We just looked at these things happening again and again, and we said we could do something, we could be proactive rather than reactive," Rob Huberty, chief operating officer for ZeroEyes, tells KMTV.
That's why the Omaha, Neb., school district has been awarded $77,000 from the state of Nebraska to implement ZeroEyes, an AI-based security system that uses existing school cameras to detect guns.
If a gun is detected, the system sends an alert to the school's operation center, which in a matter of seconds can alert law enforcement and a school resource officer, per the Omaha World-Herald.
ZeroEyes was created in the wake of the Parkland, Fla., school shooting and has already been used in schools in several states.
The district plans to place ZeroEyes in all its schools.
"It is kind of like our invisible partner in school safety and security and that's what we are kind of excited about," Jay Dostal, principal of Westside High School, tells KMTV.
