OpenAI Sued Over School Shooting

0:00Open AI and its founder Sam Altman are now facing seven wrongful death lawsuits tied to the mass shooting at Tumblr Ridge secondary school in British Columbia back on February 10th, 2026. The suits, filed in California courts, come from grieving families including parents of several 12 and 13-year-old kids who were killed. The husband of a slain education aide and even a 12-year-old survivor with severe brain damage. These lawsuits blame the company for playing a role in the tragedy, though details on that connection are still unfolding in court. The attack hit the school library hard, claiming young lives and leaving others forever changed, like the girl shot three times in the head who now can't move or speak despite being awake. Families are pouring out their pain in these filings, describing kids full of dreams, hockey players aiming for tech careers, artists painting, butterflies, soccer stars who shoveled neighbor snow. The education aide died shielding her students, including her own daughter who washed it happen, while siblings made desperate calls from hiding, ugh, spots.

These stories paint the community shattered with parents begging just to say goodbye. As these cases move forward in California, they spotlight growing questions about tech giants' responsibilities in real-world violence. Stay tuned as... More comes to like.
