Tumbler Ridge shooting survivors file 30 lawsuits against OpenAI over ChatGPT account

Survivors of the February 2026 Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia shooting have filed 30 lawsuits against OpenAI, alleging the company failed to alert police when it shut down the shooter's ChatGPT account eight months prior. The claim hinges on whether OpenAI had a duty to report concerning user activity, a novel legal question. This marks a significant test of AI platform liability for offline violence.
