OpenAI Sued Over Tumbler Ridge Shooting | Vancouver News

Thirty new lawsuits are targeting OpenAI and Sam Altman after a horrific school shooting in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, where six victims died. Plaintiffs—teachers and students who risked their lives to protect others—claim OpenAI knew the shooter, Jesse Van Rootselaar, was a threat months prior but failed to alert authorities. Despite his account being banned from ChatGPT, OpenAI allegedly took no further action. Lawsuits seek damages and access to chat logs and internal documents, while survivors describe trauma and the crushing weight of their ordeal. OpenAI’s chief strategy officer insists safety is a priority, emphasizing privacy and human judgment in their risk protocols. British Columbia’s Attorney General condemns OpenAI’s inaction and vows to pursue its own legal path, demanding accountability and a true commitment to victims and the community.
