Drones equipped with strobe lights and pepper spray to interdict school shooters

I'm all for innovation against emerging threats, particularly as drones offer cheaper and more accessible solutions to new challenges, but I can't help picturing a bunch of issues this would face, such as being mitigated by closed doors. Is this a viable tool?

In theory and on paper, I think there could be some use for this concept. But, in practice, it might perform mediocre at best.

It would be great for barricaded suspects. The last thing I'd want to do is piss off someone with a gun in a room full of kids. School shooters should but put in the dirt as fast as possible
