New York City Testing Gun Detection Scanners in Subway Station

New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced a pilot program Thursday to use freestanding scanners to detect guns entering subway stations.

The city has been looking at technology it can use with the MTA's existing camera systems to detect weapons, specifically guns, ABC7 reports.

The city will set up freestanding screeners that can spot and track guns at the Fulton Street Subway Station to see how the system impacts normal commuter flow.

The city is using Evolv Technology's weapons detection system, the same technology in place at Citi Field for the Mets' Opening Day on Friday.
