A teenage survivor of a shooting at a Nashville high school in January 2025 has filed a lawsuit against Omnilert, the manufacturer of an AI gun detection system that did not identify the handgun used in the incident, which resulted in two fatalities, including the shooter. The lawsuit, filed in Davidson County court last month, alleges that Omnilert was aware or should have been aware of significant operational limitations in its gun detection system, which could lead to failures in detecting weapons during emergencies. Ara Bagdasarian, cofounder of Omnilert, declined to comment on the lawsuit, and System Integrations, which resold the Omnilert system, also did not respond to requests for comment.
