Metro Nashville Schools installed a new AI weapons detection system at Overton High School and Hunters Lane High School this week, two months after the deadly shooting at Antioch High School.
The Evolv system, using AI like a traditional metal detector, efficiently identifies weapons in pockets or backpacks, screening up to 1,000 students in 15 minutes in a dual-lane system.
The Metro Nashville School Board voted in February to implement the Evolv system following the Antioch High School shooting and plans to expand it to two additional high schools each week.
Evolv systems are currently used for security at both Nissan Stadium and Bridgestone Arena.
