Racism fears spark city to nix gunshot detection tech days after crazed gunman opened fire in streets

Cambridge, Massachusetts city council voted to end its ShotSpotter gunshot detection contract, citing concerns that the technology disproportionately targets marginalized Black and Brown communities. The decision came one week after a shooting incident on Memorial Drive injured two people. Residents and council members argued the surveillance technology undermines the city's sanctuary city status and raises civil rights concerns.
