Ferrets are Cool (16,666 posts)
Maybe some company is working on this, but I have an idea
Why not employ miniature drones with an aerosol or some sort of spray that would incapacitate active shooters. I'm sure the logistics of how to utilize drones in this manner would be fairly easy to overcome.
Find the negatives.
After typing this, I found this web page...unfortunately, it is being developed for military bases only.

The U.S. Air Force has awarded defense technology developer ZeroEyes a $750,000 research grant to develop and deploy a “Drone-Robot Enabled Active Shooter Deterrence” at Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota, using drones to respond to active shooter threats on the base, reports Yahoo Finance.

Gun is faster and not a waste of $750,000 grand. :whatever:

Axon is hitting pause on its plan to use taser-equipped drones to stop school shootings after a majority of its AI ethics board resigned in protest.
On Monday, nine of the 14 members resigned, claiming the company ignored consulting Axon’s AI ethics board about the taser-equipped drones.
“The Taser-equipped drone also has no realistic chance of solving the mass shooting problem Axon now is prescribing it for, only distracting society from real solutions to a tragic problem,” the resigning board members wrote(Opens in a new window) in a public resignation letter.
The resignations arrive days after Axon, a provider of body cameras and tasers, introduced the drone as a potential solution to America’s mass shooting problem. The air-based bot is armed with a taser, which can be remotely firmed to incapacitate a live shooter. Although the project is meant to be a concept, the company originally planned on launching a “full solution” by 2024
