A method of detecting a firearm shot includes providing a firearm shot detection
system in a location where firearm shots are prone to occur; detecting with the
firearm shot detection system a bang of a gunpowder explosion from the firearm
shot; detecting with the firearm shot detection system a flash of exploding gases
exiting a barrel of a firearm that fired the firearm shot; detecting with the firearm
shot detection system a crack of a bullet breaking the sound barrier from the firearm
shot; and initiating an alarm with the firearm shot detection system based on the
detection of the bang of the gunpowder explosion from the firearm shot, the flash
of exploding gases exiting the barrel of the firearm that fired the firearm shot,
and the crack of the bullet breaking the sound barrier from the firearm shot.
