AI weapon detection system at Antioch High School failed to detect gun in Nashville shooting

An artificial intelligence-powered weapon detection system failed to pick up the handgun a 17-year-old Nashville student used in a school shooting Wednesday that left a 16-year-old girl dead.

The software, called Omnilert, failed to detect the gun because of where cameras were located inside Antioch High School, Metro Nashville Public Schools spokesperson Sean Braisted said at a Thursday afternoon news conference.

Trump pardons two D.C. officers convicted in fatal chase and cover-up

President Donald Trump issued full and unconditional pardons Wednesday to two Washington, D.C., police officers who were convicted for their roles in a deadly chase of a young man on a moped in 2020 and subsequent cover-up, a case that led to protests in the nation's capital.

Trump granted clemency to Metropolitan Police Department Officer Terence Sutton, who was sentenced in September to more than five years in prison. He faced a District of Columbia charge of second-degree murder, and federal charges of conspiracy to obstruct and obstruction of justice in the October 2020 unauthorized pursuit that killed Karon Hylton-Brown, 20. Sutton was the first D.C. police officer to be convicted of murder for conduct while on duty.
