Students Assaulted With Box Cutter At School Using CEIA
Evolv was involved with multiple stabbings in the past year, and now CEIA has joined its main competitor, as two students were assaulted in one of its schools. What happened, and did Opengate miss the box cutter?
In this report, we examine the incident, the aftermath, CEIA's ability to detect bladed weapons, and CEIA's and school district's comments to IPVM.
