Lawton Chiles Middle School in Oviedo, Florida, briefly went into a "Code Red" lockdown after an AI-powered weapon detection system called ZeroEyes flagged what it believed was a man carrying a gun. Human reviewers confirmed the potential threat and alerted the police, sending officers rushing to the school. Authorities quickly determined that the "gun" was in fact a clarinet carried by a band student.
