OpenAI considered alerting RCMP about a ChatGPT user before Canada’s Tumbler Ridge shooting

OpenAI said it identified a ChatGPT account linked to an individual for “furtherance of violent activities” and banned the account in June 2025. It had weighed referring the account to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police last year but determined the activity did not meet its threshold for imminent or credible harm. After the Tumbler Ridge shooting, OpenAI reported employees provided the RCMP with information about the user’s ChatGPT use and will continue to support the investigation. Eight people were killed, including a 39-year-old teaching assistant and five students aged 12–13; the shooter died by suicide. Motive remains unclear; the town is in British Columbia, far northeast of Vancouver.

Canada school shooting: online footprint exposes obsession with violence and gore

CBS News reports that 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar, who died by a self-inflicted gunshot after the Tumbler Ridge Secondary School shooting, left a troubling online footprint showing a progression from gaming posts to interest in firearms and graphic gore on WatchPeopleDie; ISD analysts traced accounts back to 2019 and linked a Roblox mass-shooting simulation to the case. Roblox said it removed related content. Experts warn that isolated teens can find validation in dangerous online spaces, creating echo chambers that may contribute to violence. The attack killed six people and is Canada’s deadliest school shooting since 1989.
