After Uvalde shooting, tech companies tout their solutions. But do they work?

Despite the growing adoption of security tools in US schools, mass shootings have remained constant throughout the past 30 years

After the mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas , an all-too-familiar question emerged: how do we prevent such horror from happening again? A handful of companies have said they have tech solutions that could help.

They included the drone firm Axon , which promoted a remotely operated Taser device to be deployed in schools. EdTech companies, including Impero Software, said their student surveillance services could flag warning signs and help prevent the next attack.
