"Nobody
called the cops, nobody dialed 911. But when newly installed technology
picked up the sound of gunfire in York, Pa., last month, it quickly
directed police to a precise location where they found a 21-year-old
man who had been shot three times. He was rushed to a hospital where he
recovered from his wounds. Chalk up another
success for ShotSpotter, an unusual, fast-growing Silicon Valley
company whose system for pinpointing the origin of gunshots is now
getting deployed in cities across America — including neighborhoods in
Oakland, San Francisco and East Palo Alto. This technology, first
introduced in Redwood City in the mid-1990s but widely adopted only
recently, is also being tested by U.S. forces in Iraq."
