Only thing like "sleeping gas" that exists outside of cartoons is an opioid overdose administered by gas. Difficult to impossible to titrate dose properly, and the chain of custody / risk of diversion would make having that type of shit on hand all over the US an expensive proposition.
Just blow the dude's face off.

And we don't even have save-shots available on police/paramedics for basic recreational opioid emergencies, which occur daily. Maybe when save-shots being carried become Federal law, we can start to talk about sleeping gas for active shooters (not).
Additionally, there is absolutely no way to quantify when the gas works. The threat, even with a robot visual, is still a threat regardless of whether hes slumped in the prone position or not.
Never. Going. To. Happen. Russia tried it, it murdered hundreds by accident. And half the shooters were still wielding firearms and shooting because the titration and distribution is impossible to guarantee.
What we need is legitimate androids (which we have the technology for) to roll in, request the firearms be turned over, collect the firearms via supermagnetic device (warn the perpetrator that it will lose his hands/fingers or face serious injury or death when the supermagnet turns on unless he removes all metal devices within the demanded time-frame). The robot can suggest stripping naked taking pants off, shirt off, ensuring no metal devices are on the person when the magnetic collector activates.
This is probably the most safe and cost effective solution. Put 1 disarm android in each major city.
The negotiator can still do his job, but when it comes time for the ultimatum is when you send the disarm robot in.
