CP NewsAlert: Allegations of info before Tumbler Ridge shootings ‘disturbing’: Eby

By Canadian Press on February 21, 2026.

British Columbia Premier David Eby says police are pursuing orders regarding the preservation of potential evidence related to the mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge held by digital services companies, including social media platforms and AI companies.

The premier’s statement comes following a report in the Wall Street Journal that employees with the artificial intelligence company OpenAI considered alerting authorities about the shooter’s worrisome interactions with its chatbot months before.

Eby says reports that allege OpenAI had related intelligence before the shootings are “profoundly disturbing for the victims’ families and all British Columbians.”


More coming.
