LEESBURG, Va., Jan. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Omnilert, a leader in active shooter solutions, today released its annual compilation of gun violence statistics summarizing the alarming number of mass shootings and other gun violence in America in 2023. Unfortunately, 2023 broke a record with 346 school shootings ? the most in over four decades - highlighting the growing need for effective active shooter protection such as AI visual gun detection.

The Grim Reality of Mass Shootings in 2023
As highlighted in the gun violence statistics blog post, the alarming statistics around gun violence reaffirm the need to protect America's public places. Considering that more than 80 percent of school shootings are now occurring outdoors, it is important to monitor and protect both inside facilities as well the perimeter of buildings where active shooters can be detected and potentially stopped before they can even enter.
An AI visual gun detection system is a key layer of an organization's overall security solution because it can identify a weapon in less than a second and once verified, it can initiate an extensive automatic response such as lock doors, call police, set the facility on lock down, alert people in the facility and more. This software can also provide situational intelligence on the shooter's location at any given time to provide valuable information to first responders as well as those in harm's way.
