2 Brevard County schools expected to reopen following power outage

Florida schools using AI software to detect guns

A mass shooting at a school, a movie theater, a mall, or anywhere, can happen in seconds. There is a company that is utilizing software and artificial intelligence (AI) to help detect guns and weapons -- and hopefully stop a suspected shooter sooner. It's called ZeroEyes and Seminole County, Hernando County, and Leon County are among the Florida districts utilizing the technology.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Two Brevard County schools that closed following a power outage are expected to reopen, school officials.

Brevard Public Schools announced the closure of the two schools on Thursday, Feb. 8. Repair crews have been working to get the power back on since late Wednesday.

Southwest Middle School experienced a power failure on Wednesday evening, necessitating the cancelation of classes, officials said. The power disruption also affected Turner Elementary, resulting in the loss of air conditioning and the school's closure on the same day. These adjacent schools share a chiller responsible for cooling their premises, according to the school district.

Repair crews anticipate the power returning to Southwest and Turner Elementary late Thursday evening.
