Altman apologizes after OpenAI failed to alert police before fatal Canada shooting
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman issued a public apology for the company's failure to report the account of Jesse Van Rootselaar, perpetrator of the February 2026 Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia mass shooting that left 8 dead and 25 injured, to Canadian law enforcement when the account was flagged for violent activity and banned in June 2025. British Columbia Premier David Eby characterized the apology as necessary but grossly insufficient, while Altman committed to collaborating with governments to prevent similar future tragedies.
