I have so, so many questions.....
Why are there cameras in schools? Why are they looking for guns? Why are they using AI to do it?
Could this not all be avoided by not letting kids have guns or am i missing the point?

Kids are already not allowed to have guns.
I hate camera proliferation but, judging by the YouTube plenty of bodycam footage, it does work.
You won't likely find the numbers you want because the very nature of the problem is that cameras make visible something that wasn't.
If the rot is so deep that even who was right and who was wrong does not matter, then that is a separate issue that members of the public need to sort out with each other.
It should be legally required for daycares to have cameras. Those kids cannot communicate, so there is zero accountability there. And this only becomes a thing because it’s so incredibly cheap to add the accountability.
Obviously, in before times, when it was too expensive, a cost benefit decision has to be made to go with trust only. But now that the cost is trivial, that cost benefit decision has to be revisited.
If not even the children can play any more however they want, for fear that automated surveillance would identify them as "pretending to have a weapon", which can result in punishment, I believe that such a society has serious problems for which it certainly did not find the right solution. I would not want for myself or for my children to live in such a place.
I have not said anything about the police.
I have quoted directly from the article exactly what the school management said.
It is the school management who has said that the guilty party in this incident is neither the school nor the surveillance equipment, but the student who "was holding his musical instrument like a rifle". (This does not even take into consideration that there may be legitimate reasons for holding a musical instrument like a rifle, e.g. for checking it for defects or dirt.)
It is also the school management who implied that they will reprimand any student for "pretending to have a weapon".
I do not know how you played as a child, but "pretending to have a weapon" is certainly an exceedingly common behavior, perhaps more so in countries where people would never think about using true weapons.
