VANCOUVER — The British Columbia government says it’s exploring legal options after the mass shooting where eight people were killed in Tumbler Ridge.
Attorney General Niki Sharma is expected to meet with media today about those options, five months after the deadly shooting in the community in northeastern B.C.
Public Safety Minister Nina Krieger said in May that the police investigation into the shooting was in its final stages, and a coroner’s inquest had been called.
The shooting left nine dead, including 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar, whose use of ChatGPT before the shooting is now the subject of multiple lawsuits against the chatbot’s creator OpenAI and the company’s founder Sam Altman.
