The drones can remain airborne for about eight minutes on a single battery charge

  1. Hear drone
  2. Hide for 8 minutes
  3. Drone evaded

It's a pepper spray drone, delaying them from killing people is the point in the first place.

Couldn't you just shoot the drone?

I'm not at all defending this asinine "solution" to school shootings, however eight minutes could be a significant amount of lives saved.
