Alleged False Positive by Omnilert AI Gun Detection System Prompts Police Search at Baltimore County High School

2025-10-20

A purportedly AI-powered gun detection system at Kenwood High School in Baltimore County, Maryland, reportedly misidentified a student's empty Doritos bag as a firearm. Armed police reportedly detained and handcuffed the student before determining there was no weapon. The AI system, operated by Omnilert, issued the false alert, leading to public outcry and an official review of school security protocols. Omnilert reportedly expressed regret for the incident.
