Suspect in Tumbler Ridge school shooting described violent scenarios to ChatGPT

A suspect in a mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia had conversations with ChatGPT describing gun violence, which triggered the chatbot's automated content review system (a safety filter that flags harmful content). OpenAI employees raised concerns that these posts could indicate a real-world threat and suggested contacting authorities, but company leaders decided the posts did not pose a credible and immediate danger and did not contact law enforcement.
