Families of seven victims killed in a mass shooting at a British Columbia secondary school have filed lawsuits against OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman, alleging the company knew about the shooter's violent intentions eight months before the attack but failed to alert authorities. The lawsuits claim OpenAI's safety team identified the shooter’s account as posing a "credible and specific threat of gun violence" but leadership chose to deactivate the account instead of notifying Canadian police. The January 2026 attack in Tumbler Ridge killed five children, a teaching assistant, and the shooter’s mother and brother before the shooter took their own life at the school.
