Media consortium seeks Tumbler Ridge, B.C., shooting documents

The consortium seeks police court filings and records on guns used in the shooting and firearms seized from the attacker’s home.

  • On Friday, a media consortium including The Canadian Press appeared in a Vancouver court seeking "information to obtain" documents related to the Tumbler Ridge mass shooting; the hearing was adjourned without setting a new date.
  • The February attack by 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar left eight victims dead in remote northeastern British Columbia, including her mother and brother killed in the family home.
  • Media outlets are seeking access to records concerning firearms used in the mass shooting and those seized from the attacker's home, specifically documents police filed to secure search warrants.
  • Earlier this week, the British Columbia government announced plans to pursue legal action against artificial intelligence company OpenAI, alleging the attacker had troubling ChatGPT interactions that were flagged but not forwarded to police.
  • The adjournment leaves the public and media awaiting transparency regarding the February tragedy in Tumbler Ridge as the court's handling of these documents will reveal further investigation details.
