Most, if not all jurisdictions no longer allow automated calls directly to dispatch (911).

Most shootins are done with handguns and not rifles statistically - and those are much much easier to conceal.

What happens to false positives? Are you increasing a chance of a kid with a "tactical umbrella" being shot?

but yay! more surveilance and cameras!

Yes, I've seen other demonstrations of systems like this in the past. Of course the answer to problems with guns is easily demonstrated by other countries; they control them as tightly as possible. Since this is not possible in the US, people try workarounds that are pretty much futile.
What they need is export markets for these things. Like China has export markets for electronics and batteries.
