The province filed in California on September 21 over the February 10, 2026 Tumbler Ridge shooting that killed eight, alleging OpenAI's safety team flagged the shooter's conversations about gun violence and never contacted police. OpenAI confirmed the account was flagged by systems detecting misuse in furtherance of violent activity but said it didn't meet internal criteria for law-enforcement referral. BC seeks damages for emergency response and recovery costs plus a court order forcing OpenAI to overhaul how it handles violent-threat conversations. More than 30 family members filed separate federal suits earlier. The threshold question this puts in front of a court is whether an internal escalation criterion is a defense or the negligence itself. (CBC)
