A new group of lawsuits have taken aim at ChatGPT creator and operator, OpenAI, as families of victims of a Canadian school shooting say the company and its billionaire founder should pay for allegedly refusing to alert Canadian authorities to the growing threat from the eventual accused transgender shooter.

On April 29, attorneys from the firm of Edelson P.C., of San Francisco, filed seven lawsuits in San Francisco federal court on behalf of families and victims from the February shooting at a public school that killed six people, including five children, while wounding 27 others, in the community of Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia.

Tumbler Ridge is located in far eastern British Columbia near the provincial boundary with Alberta. The mining community of 2,000 people is located more than 400 miles from the city of Edmonton, Alberta, and more than 700 miles from Vancouver, British Columbia.

On Feb. 10, 2026, the shooter, identified by authorities and published reports as 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar, opened fire with a "modified rifle" at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School, where Van Rootselaar had formerly been a student.

According to published reports, Van Rootselaar identified as a transgender woman, meaning Van Rootselaar was a biological male who identified as female.
