Several families filed lawsuits on Wednesday against OpenAI Inc. and its Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Sam Altman, alleging they were liable for not reporting the perpetrator of the mass shooting that occurred in Tumbler Ridge, Canada, on February 10, 2026.
Seven families filed separate civil lawsuits with the United States District Court for the Northern District of California in San Francisco, citing personal injury and product liability. The families accused OpenAI and Altman of negligence after the artificial intelligence (AI) company failed to report the perpetrator, Jesse Van Rootselaar, who used ChatGPT to plan the shooting, to authorities. Instead, OpenAI flagged Van Rootselaar's account and then shut it down, but did not inform authorities of his then plan-in-the-making.
The mass shooting claimed the lives of nine people, including the perpetrator. Canadian authorities then summoned OpenAI for information about Van Rootselaar's activity on ChatGPT. Previously, several families sued OpenAI in British Columbia.
