British Columbia to Update on Legal Action Against OpenAI Following Tumbler Ridge Mass Shooting
British Columbia's Attorney General Niki Sharma is scheduled to provide an update on Monday morning regarding the province's legal action against OpenAI in connection with the Tumbler Ridge mass shooting that occurred on February 10, 2026. The shooting at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School resulted in eight fatalities, including six children, and over two dozen injuries. The province announced in July that it had retained legal counsel to explore potential claims against OpenAI, following revelations that OpenAI's internal safety team had flagged the shooter, 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar, for concerning activity on ChatGPT involving scenarios of gun violence. This legal action is part of a broader trend, with 37 lawsuits now filed against OpenAI and founder Sam Altman related to the incident, including 30 new plaintiffs recently added in California. These new plaintiffs include educators, a principal, and students, such as a 13-year-old identified as 'A.C.' who was trapped in the library during the attack. The Attorney General's announcement at 11:30 a.m. PT will provide further details on the province's legal strategy and the potential implications for OpenAI. The case has drawn significant attention as it represents one of the first major legal challenges against an AI company for its role in facilitating or failing to prevent violent acts. The Tumbler Ridge shooting has been a focal point for discussions on AI safety protocols and the responsibilities of technology companies in monitoring user behavior that could lead to real-world harm. The province's legal action is expected to set a precedent for how jurisdictions approach similar cases involving AI platforms and their potential contributions to violent incidents. As the legal proceedings continue, the case underscores the growing intersection between artificial intelligence development and public safety concerns, raising important questions about the ethical and legal frameworks governing AI systems.

Belleville Synagogue Shaken by Yom Kippur Shooting, Congregants Describe Chaos
On Sunday evening, September 20, 2026, a Yom Kippur service at the Sons of Jacob Synagogue in Belleville, Ontario, was interrupted by gunfire, causing panic among congregants. Norman Weddum, the synagogue's president, recounted the harrowing experience, stating that the first sounds of 'Bang! Bang! Bang!' came as the service was about to begin. The congregation, numbering around 25 people, was ushered into the inner sanctuary when the shooting commenced. Weddum, who had spoken briefly with a police officer stationed outside the synagogue earlier, immediately instructed everyone to get on the floor and crouch down as bullets struck the stained glass windows. The shooting stopped after an extended period, during which congregants waited anxiously, hearing the sound of gunfire and seeing police outside. A police officer and the suspect, identified as a 29-year-old man, were both injured in the incident. The officer was in critical-stable condition, while the suspect was in life-threatening condition. The Special Investigations Unit (SIU) is investigating the incident. The synagogue, which serves approximately 100 families, remains closed as a result of the shooting. Doug Lobel, a congregant and Belleville resident, expressed concerns about potential antisemitic rhetoric in the community, having previously emailed Mayor Neil Ellis about safety concerns. The mayor's response, which suggested contacting the police if feeling unsafe, was described as 'tone deaf' by Lobel. This incident follows a deadly terror attack at a Manchester synagogue on Yom Kippur in October 2025, where two people were stabbed to death, and a separate attack in Sydney, Australia, during Hanukkah celebrations in December 2025, where more than a dozen were shot. The synagogue community has vowed to continue their services despite the traumatic event, with Weddum stating, 'We will continue on. This is not going to stop us.'

Tumbler Ridge shooting survivor Maya Gebala celebrates 13th birthday amid ongoing recovery
Maya Gebala, the 13-year-old survivor of the Tumbler Ridge shooting that occurred on February 10, 2026, has celebrated her birthday as she continues her remarkable recovery. The shooting, carried out by 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar, left eight people dead and Maya critically injured with three gunshot wounds to the head, cheek, and neck. She was just 12 years old at the time of the attack and was taken to B.C. Children's Hospital in Vancouver, where she has undergone at least five complex surgeries. Her mother, Cia Edmonds, shared numerous photos on social media showing Maya bowling, playing air hockey, and blowing out candles on her birthday cake. In her post, Edmonds expressed gratitude for the time they get to share, noting Maya's progress in learning new things and her strength, courage, and determination. She also mentioned that a year ago, Maya's birthday wish was to visit 'galaxy land' at the West Edmonton Mall, but this year's celebration was different, though equally meaningful. Edmonds shared a video clip of Maya saying 'mom' earlier this month, highlighting her increasing awareness and the challenges of her ongoing hospital stay. Despite severe brain damage, Maya has made significant progress, with her mother describing her level of awareness as 'incredible and devastating at the same time.' The family has been sharing regular updates about Maya's recovery, including the recent loss of their French bulldog, which was hit by a car. The Tumbler Ridge shooting remains a tragic event in the small British Columbia town, with the community continuing to support the Gebala family during this difficult time.

11-year-old boy in critical condition following apartment shooting in Norwest, teen charged with concealing offence
An 11-year-old boy remains in critical condition after being shot in the face and neck inside a luxury apartment complex in Norwest, Sydney, on Monday afternoon. The incident occurred at the Moda apartment complex on Fairway Drive, where the child was found conscious but speaking with paramedics before his condition deteriorated during transport to Westmead Children's Hospital. Police have charged an 18-year-old man with concealing a serious indictable offence following the shooting, which took place while the boy was in the apartment with four other individuals - three 18-year-old men and a 44-year-old woman. None of the other occupants were injured during the incident. Three of the 18-year-old men were arrested, with two released pending further inquiries and the third charged. The charged individual was refused police bail and is due to appear in Blacktown Local Court on Tuesday. Police have established a large exclusion zone around Fairway Drive to search for the firearm used in the shooting, which has not yet been located. The Moda complex, comprising 217 properties, is described by developers as offering a 'luxury lifestyle' with amenities including an indoor swimming pool, gym, and rooftop terrace. The boy's mother is reportedly with him in hospital, described as 'as stressed as any parent would be' by Hills Police Area Commander Naomi Moore. Police have stated they do not believe the incident is linked to organised crime and are treating it as a standalone event. The investigation continues into how the gun entered the apartment, whether the shooting was accidental, and who fired the weapon. Tactical officers and a police helicopter were deployed to the scene, with officers combing the property and adjacent park for the firearm. The incident has been described by police as one of the most 'awful scenes' encountered by officers in recent days, with Commander Moore stating it was 'among the worst that I've seen' in her experience. The apartment complex is located near Castle Hill Country Club and two blocks from Norwest station, with residents observed standing on balconies watching the police operation unfold.
