Seven lawsuits filed against OpenAI by families of Canada mass-shooting victims
Seven families of victims killed or injured in the February 2026 Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia mass shooting have filed lawsuits in a California court against OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman. The lawsuits allege OpenAI ignored its safety team's recommendation to alert police about shooter Jessie Van Rootselaar's violent ChatGPT activity prior to the attack, prioritizing the company's $850bn valuation over public safety, and replace a prior Canadian lawsuit with plans to file additional cases.
