“The warning was fake. The fear was real.” 🚨

A tech glitch in the CrimeRadar app caused a false alarm about a school shooting at Mt. Vernon Elementary School in Missouri.

The automated system of CrimeRadar misunderstood emergency dispatch audio, leading to the false report of a shooting when the dispatch was actually saying “show me.”

The school went into lockdown and implemented emergency plans swiftly to ensure student safety.

CrimeRadar released a statement apologizing for the distress caused and updated its audio processing and verification protocols to prevent similar incidents in the future
