“Mass Shooting”

OTTAWA — OpenAI says it is taking “immediate actions” to overhaul safety protocols after it chose not to report a Canadian ChatGPT user that police say went on to kill eight people, including six at a secondary school.

On Thursday, the tech giant revealed that the perpetrator managed to create a second account after OpenAI shut down the first over problematic entries.

The company has since faced scrutiny for not reporting the account to police amid questions about its ability to track banned users.

Canada’s artificial intelligence minister says he has summoned representatives from the technology company OpenAI after the company declined to alert police after suspending the account of a user who became the perpetrator of one of the country’s worst-ever school shootings.

Evan Solomon says he is “deeply disturbed” by reports that the company, which operates the popular ChatGPT chatbot, suspended the account of Jesse Van Rootselaar over the “furtherance of violent activities” in June 2025 but did not reach out to Canadian law enforcement.

The community of Tumbler Ridge, B.C., has suffered the tragic loss of eight victims — all but two under 14 years of age. A picture is quickly emerging of a community that was failed on multiple levels by mental-health services and law enforcement. Now that the dust has settled, it’s time for an independent investigation into how this tragedy happened in the first place, in the hope that changes can be made so that something like this never happens again.

In less than two weeks, two deadly shootings — both allegedly by transgender-identifying biological males. One was a school rampage in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, that killed eight people, and the other a targeted family attack during a youth hockey game in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, where two of the alleged shooter’s family members were left dead.

In what is becoming a regular occurrence, someone trans-identifying is accused of committing a mass murder, this time during a high school hockey game, in suburban Rhode Island.

Robert Dorgan, who preferred to be called Roberta, killed his ex-wife and one of his own children and shot three more people before turning a gun on himself.

In 2020, Dorgan had told police that he was being kicked out of his home, by his father-in-law, after Dorgan had undergone “gender-reassignment surgery.”

ChatGPT maker opted against informing authorities about Jesse Van Rootselaar’s descriptions of violence last June

Months before Jesse Van Rootselaar became the suspect in the mass shooting that devastated a rural town in British Columbia, Canada, OpenAI considered alerting law enforcement about her interactions with its ChatGPT chatbot, the company said.

While using ChatGPT last June, Van Rootselaar described scenarios involving gun violence over the course of several days, according to people familiar with the matter.

Her posts, flagged by an automated review system, alarmed employees at OpenAI. Internally, about a dozen staffers debated whether to take action on Van Rootselaar’s posts. Some employees interpreted Van Rootselaar’s writings as an indication of potential real-world violence, and urged leaders to alert Canadian law enforcement about her behavior, the people familiar with the matter said.

A man who left his family to live as a woman and threatened to “Go BERSERK” in defense of transgender ideology shot and killed his son and the boy’s mother at a Rhode Island hockey game on Monday, but the corporate media really don’t want you to know he was a fanatical adherent of one of their pet ideologies.

The crazed transgender dad who shot up a high school hockey game in Rhode Island threatened to go “BERSERK” in a trans-rights rant just a day before he massacred two family members and injured three others.

Robert Dorgan, who also identified as Roberta Esposito, killed himself after opening fire at the Pawtucket ice rink where his son was playing on Monday afternoon — less than a week after another transgender gunman shot up a school in one of Canada’s deadliest mass shootings.

Days after a deadly mass shooting devastated a rural town in British Columbia, Canada, police are still searching for clues as to why the suspect, 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar, would have turned violent, and how she could have carried out her attack.

In Tumbler Ridge, a mining town of roughly 2,700 people, a picture of the teen’s unsettled life was emerging from police and court records and a family statement. Van Rootselaar went mostly by Jesse Strang, the maiden name of her mother, Jennifer Strang. Van Rootselaar was the name of her biological father, a man she barely knew after a difficult split between her parents. Even though her father lived in the same town, they never had much contact.

Van Rootselaar dropped out of school around four years ago, authorities said.

Matt Jacobs, the father of Tumbler Ridge shooting victim Emmett Jacobs, and two surviving children living at Jennifer Strang’s home, has released a statement after the horrific events in the northeastern B.C. community Tuesday.

“The pain I have been feeling from this tragedy is unbearable. I can’t even imagine to explain how lost I feel. I lost my little boy, a man’s pride and joy. Jennifer and I had our differences but she did not deserve this, none of them did. I couldn’t even begin to comprehend the news I had heard on Feb. 10,” the statement reads.

There were signs. There are always warning signs.

Like nearly all horrific episodes of mass violence and domestic violence, the Tumbler Ridge shootings were preventable in hindsight. The killer had a long history of mental health issues, drug use, and police interactions. The signs weren’t just there — they were glaring.
