British Columbia prepares lawsuit against OpenAI over Tumbler Ridge school shooting.
British Columbia Attorney General Niki Sharma announced the province has hired legal teams to pursue action against OpenAI for failing to alert authorities about violent ChatGPT prompts linked to the February 2026 Tumbler Ridge mass shooting. The shooter, 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar, killed eight people including five children and one educator before dying from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. OpenAI staff had flagged the shooter's account months before the attack but leadership did not notify police.
