TORONTO—ChatGPT-maker OpenAI said Friday it considered last year alerting Canadian police about the activities of a person who months later committed one of the worst school shootings in the country’s history.
OpenAI said last June the company identified the account of Jesse Van Rootselaar via abuse detection efforts for “furtherance of violent activities.”
The San Francisco tech company said it considered whether to refer the account the Royal Canadian Mounted Police but determined at the time that the account activity did not meet a threshold for referral to law enforcement. OpenAI banned the account in June 2025 for violating its usage policy.
The 18-year-old killed eight people in a remote part of British Columbia last week and died from a self-inflicted gun shot wound.
OpenAI said the threshold for referring a user to law enforcement is whether the case involves an imminent and credible risk of serious physical harm to others. The company said it did not identify credible or imminent planning. The Wall Street Journal first reported OpenAI’s revelation.
OpenAI said that, after learning of the school shooting, employees reached out to the RCMP with information on the individual and their use of ChatGPT.
“Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the Tumbler Ridge tragedy. We proactively reached out to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police with information on the individual and their use of ChatGPT, and we’ll continue to support their investigation,” an OpenAI spokesperson said.
The RCMP said Van Rootselaar first killed her mother and stepbrother at the family home before attacking the nearby school. Van Rootselaar had a history of mental health contacts with police.
The motive for the shooting remains unclear.
The town of 2,700 people in the Canadian Rockies is more than 1,000 kilometers northeast of Vancouver, near the provincial border with Alberta. Police said the victims included a 39-year-old teaching assistant and five students, ages 12 to 13.
The attack was Canada’s deadliest rampage since 2020, when a gunman in Nova Scotia killed 13 people and set fires that left another nine dead.
Speaking from the Oval Office Wednesday night, President Donald Trump vowed that his administration will “catch each and every one of those who contributed” to the assassination of TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk, as well as any left-wing organizations that have funded and supported political violence.
“This is a dark moment for America,” the president said. “Charlie Kirk traveled the nation joyfully engaging with everyone interested in good faith debate. His mission was to bring young people into the political process, which he did better than anybody ever, to share his love of country and to spread the simple words of common sense. On campuses nationwide, he championed his ideas with courage, logic, humor and grace.”
It’s long past time for all Americans in the media to confront the fact that violence and murder are the tragic consequences of demonizing those with whom you disagree. Day after day, year after year in the most hateful and despicable way possible. For years, those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis and the world’s worst mass murderers and criminals. This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism that we’re seeing in our country today.
And it must stop right now.
My administration will find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity and to other political violence, including the organizations that fund it and support it, as well as those who go after our judges, law enforcement officials, and everyone else who brings order to our country.
From the attack on my life in Butler, Pennsylvania, last year—which killed a husband and father—to the attacks on ICE agents, to the vicious murder of a healthcare executive in the streets of New York, to the shooting of House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and three others, radical left political violence has hurt too many innocent people and taken too many lives.
The president beckoned all Americans to “commit themselves to the American values for which Charlie lived and died: the values of free speech, citizenship, the rule of law, and the patriotic devotion and love of God.”
“Charlie was the best of America and the monster who attacked him was attacking out whole country,” Trump added.
Earlier Wednesday, Trump ordered flags on public buildings to be flown at half staff Sunday evening, in honor of Kirk.
As a mark of respect for the memory of Charlie Kirk, by the authority vested in me as President of the United States by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I hereby order that the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and upon all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions until sunset, September 14, 2025.
I also direct that the flag shall be flown at half-staff for the same length of time at all United States embassies, legations, consular offices, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and naval vessels and stations.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this tenth day of September, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fiftieth.
A shooting at a crowded New York City club early on Aug. 17 left three people dead and nine wounded, authorities said.
Investigators have said they believe that up to four shooters opened fire at Taste of the City Lounge in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, following a dispute just before 3:30 a.m. ET on Aug. 17, New York Police Department Commissioner Jessica Tisch told reporters.
“It’s a terrible shooting that occurred in the city of New York,” Tisch said at a press conference.
“Currently, we have identified 12 victims—ranging in age from 19 to 61—nine males and three females.”
Three men died in relation to the shooting—one aged 19 who was pronounced dead at the scene and two—aged 27 and 35—who succumbed to their injuries at the hospital, Tisch said.
Officers are investigating at least 42 shell casings found at the lounge, from multiple guns, and a firearm discovered on a nearby street, she said.
Tisch said the wounded in the shooting are being treated at hospitals for injuries that are not life-threatening. The victims’ names are being withheld pending family notifications.
She said the police would not speak about motivation for the incident until the investigation is complete, but she said law enforcement has reason to believe some of the victims were involved in the shooting. That information is preliminary and subject to change, she said.
“What we know preliminarily is that there was a dispute inside the crowded club that led to the shooting. We believe that there were up to four shooters involved in this incident,” Tisch said. “At this time, no one is in custody, and the shooting preliminarily appears to be gang-related.”
New York City is having a record low year for gun violence, the police commissioner noted.
“We have the lowest numbers of shooting incidents and shooting victims seven months into the year that we’ve seen on record in the city of New York,” Tisch said. “Something like this is, of course, thank God, an anomaly, and it’s a terrible thing that happened this morning, but we’re going to investigate and get to the bottom of what went down.”
New York City Mayor Eric Adams asked anyone with information about the shooting to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
“We need your help,” Adams said at a press conference, adding that it’s New York City’s second mass shooting in a few weeks.
“If you were inside the club, if you heard individuals talking about this shooting, if you witnessed someone fleeing the location, every piece of information would allow us to put the puzzle together to solve this crime.”
Andre Mitchell-Mann, who serves as Adams’s first New York City gun violence prevention czar and co-chair of the Gun Violence Prevention Task Force, said the mayor’s team has “been responding ever since the call has been made.”
“Mass shootings require mass resources, and so we look to go into that area of Crown Heights and to be able to pour those resources within that area, and we’re looking forward to everybody else’s collaboration going forward,” he said.
WASHINGTON — As President Donald Trump federalizes Washington, D.C.’s police and deploys the National Guard to curb crime in the nation’s capital, he is signaling a broader push to address violent crime in other major U.S. cities. During an August 11, 2025, press conference at the White House, Trump named Chicago, New York City, Los Angeles, Oakland, and Baltimore as areas of concern, describing them as “bad, very bad.” While violent crime rates have recently declined nationwide, these cities continue to grapple with elevated homicide and felony numbers, some exceeding levels from a decade ago.
The President’s Powers and Legal Challenges
Trump’s actions in Washington, D.C., stem from his declaration of a crime emergency, leveraging Section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act. This allows him to control the city’s Metropolitan Police Department for up to 30 days without Congressional approval. He has called on Congress, currently in its August recess, to extend this authority, hinting that a national emergency declaration could bypass legislative delays if needed.
However, extending similar measures to other cities faces significant hurdles. Unlike D.C., where the president has direct authority, state and local governments control law enforcement in Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Oakland, and Baltimore. Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops to Los Angeles is under scrutiny, with U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer examining whether it violates the Posse Comitatus Act (PCA), which restricts federal military involvement in domestic law enforcement. In D.C., Trump has avoided PCA conflicts by deploying the District of Columbia National Guard under Title 32 duty status, maintaining local authority while supporting police operations.
Trump also criticized no-cash bail policies, which he believes exacerbate crime, urging Congress to act. Illinois eliminated cash bail in 2023, as did Los Angeles County for most offenses. New York State followed suit in 2019. “Maybe they’ll self-clean up, and maybe they’ll self-do this and get rid of the cashless bail thing and all of the things that caused this problem,” Trump said during the press conference.
Chicago: A Focal Point
Chicago tops Trump’s list of concern, with the president stating, “If we need to, we’re going to do the same thing in Chicago.” The city recorded 573 homicides in 2024, the highest in the U.S., though down from 620 in 2023, according to the Chicago Police Department. Shootings and vehicular hijackings also declined, but thousands of incidents persist. In the first half of 2025, homicides dropped 32 percent to 188 compared to the same period in 2024, yielding a homicide rate of over 21 per 100,000 residents.
While this rate is lower than the 1990s peak, it exceeds levels from the 2000s and early 2010s, per a University of Chicago Crime Lab analysis. An Illinois Policy Institute report further noted a decline in homicide arrest rates, falling from 42 percent a decade ago to 27 percent between June 2024 and June 2025, highlighting challenges in law enforcement effectiveness.
New York City: Persistent Challenges
Trump signaled that New York City is next on his radar, stating, “I’m going to look at New York in a little while.” The city reported 382 murders and non-negligent manslaughters in 2024, down from a 2021 peak of 488 but higher than the 2013–2019 period, which saw a low of 292 in 2017, according to city data. By August 10, 2025, the New York Police Department recorded 188 murders, a 23.6 percent decrease from the same period in 2024. Robberies and felonious assaults also declined, but rape incidents rose 21.6 percent, with 1,748 cases in 2024 compared to 1,455 in 2023. Felonious assaults reached 29,461 in 2024, up from a low of 16,284 in 2008.
Los Angeles, Oakland, and Baltimore: Mixed Trends
Trump’s remarks also targeted Los Angeles, Oakland, and Baltimore, with the president noting that the latter two are “so far gone” and urging Los Angeles to “watch” D.C.’s example. Los Angeles saw 264 homicides in 2024, down from 327 in 2023, per FBI and Los Angeles Police Department data. The first half of 2025 showed further declines, with Mayor Karen Bass touting a trajectory toward the lowest homicide levels in six decades. Oakland reported 81 murders in 2024, a significant drop from 120 in 2023, aligning with late 1990s and early 2000s lows, according to the University of California, Berkeley School of Law. Homicides in Oakland fell 21 percent in the first half of 2025 compared to 2024.
Baltimore recorded 201 homicides in 2024, down from 260 in 2023, with a 2024 homicide rate of over 35 per 100,000, among the highest for large U.S. cities, per Baltimore Police Department data. The city’s 2025 midyear report showed 68 homicides, a decrease from 88 in the same period of 2024.
While Trump’s focus on crime has sparked debate, posts on X highlight mixed sentiments. On August 13, noted that Trump singled out cities with Black mayors and large minority populations, suggesting a political dimension to his rhetoric, though this claim remains inconclusive. Conversely, azpublicmedia reported on August 15 that mayors of the targeted cities—Baltimore, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, and Oakland—emphasized declining crime rates, countering Trump’s narrative.
As Trump pushes for federal intervention, legal and political constraints may limit his ability to replicate D.C.’s model elsewhere. The outcome of Judge Breyer’s ruling on the Los Angeles deployment and Congress’s response to Trump’s call for expanded powers will shape the feasibility of his plans. For now, the president’s focus on urban crime underscores a broader agenda to prioritize public safety, even as cities report progress in reducing violence.
The NFL was targeted in Monday’s attack by a gunman at the Manhattan building at which the league’s offices are located, New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) said in broadcast interviews Tuesday.
An NFL employee was “seriously injured” in Monday’s attack, Commissioner Roger Goodell wrote in a memo overnight.
“As has been widely reported, a gunman committed an unspeakable act of violence in our building at 345 Park Avenue,” Goodell wrote in the memo to league employees, a copy of which was obtained by The Washington Post. “One of our employees was seriously injured in this attack. He is currently in the hospital and in stable condition.”
Adams said that the shooter, identified by authorities as 27-year-old Shane Tamura of Las Vegas, was targeting the NFL.
“From our preliminary investigation, he took the wrong elevator bank up to the NFL headquarters,” Adams told CBS. “Instead, it took him to Rudin Management. And that is where he carried out additional shootings and took the lives of additional employees.”
Adams said the shooter, who played high school football but did not play in college or in the NFL, wrote in a note that he believed he had the degenerative brain disease chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE.
“He did have a note on him,” Adams said. “The note alluded to that he felt he had CTE, a known brain injury for those who participate in contact sports. He appeared to have blamed the NFL for his injury.”
CTE can only be diagnosed definitively after death.
The league did not immediately release the identity of its injured employee. NFL staff members were at the hospital to support the employee’s family, according to Goodell.
“We believe that all of our employees are otherwise safe and accounted for, and the building has nearly been cleared,” Goodell wrote.
The gunman then fatally shot himself in the chest, New York City Police Commissioner Jessica S. Tisch said at a news conference Monday night.
Goodell wrote that the NFL is “deeply grateful to the law enforcement officers who responded to this threat quickly and decisively and to Officer [Didarul] Islam, who gave his life to protect others.”
Those working in the NFL’s New York office should work remotely from home Tuesday, Goodell wrote, adding that it is “understandable if you prefer to take the day off.” He also wrote that there “will be an increased security presence at 345 Park Avenue in the days and weeks to come.”
Goodell told employees that there are grief counselors and other “significant resources” available to them.
“Every one of you is a valued member of the NFL family,” Goodell wrote. “We will get through this together.”
Several NFL employees said they had left the building shortly before the shooter entered just before 6:30 p.m. Monday. One employee who had left about 10 minutes earlier said it is “hard to imagine something like this no matter how many times you read about” similar incidents.
Based on previous visits to the NFL offices, the building at 345 Park Avenue is set back from the street, with a large area in front that includes seating and often draws lunchtime crowds. The lobby has entrances from multiple sides. There is a security desk, generally with multiple security staffers seated there, at which any visitors must stop and be approved to enter. The elevators are located behind or to the left of the security desk, depending upon which entrance is utilized.
“We are deeply saddened by the tragic incident that occurred yesterday in New York City,” the NFL Players Association, which is based in Washington, said in a written statement Tuesday. “345 Park Avenue is a part of our football family, and we at the NFLPA extend our sincere condolences and support to the people who work in this building and to the families of those who lost their lives. We also want to express our deep gratitude to the law enforcement and emergency personnel who responded to those impacted.”
Charges say a southern Minnesota man last week shot and killed his older neighbor, whom he believed to be an alien.
The 38-year-old man from Windom, Minnesota, has been charged with two counts of second-degree murder, according to a criminal complaint filed in Cottonwood County on Friday.
The Windom Police Department says they were called to the 1400 block of 12th Avenue at approximately 5:19 a.m. Wednesday on a report of a shooting.
Officers found the victim, a 70-year-old woman, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. She was able to speak to an officer, telling them she believed she was shot but did not see a firearm. She added that the suspect had called her, saying he needed help, and that she had gone to his house about 45 minutes earlier.
The woman was transported to the Windom Hospital, where she later died. An autopsy found she had been shot seven times. She died due to blood loss from the gunshot wounds, according to the provisional report.

A witness told investigators the suspect had woken him up to sit on the couch when he began talking about aliens, allegedly stating he thought his neighbor, the victim, was an alien, and that an alien ship was coming to take them, according to the complaint. The witness recalled seeing the victim, hearing gunshots and seeing flashes, then the victim leaving.
Charges say the witness was scared and ran to their neighbor’s house, where they found her on the floor. That’s when they called 911.
While police were responding to the shooting, the complaint says dispatch informed officers around 5:30 a.m. that a woman called saying a man had broken into her nearby home on the 1200 block of River Road.
Upon arriving at the residence, police reported seeing a significant amount of broken glass and blood within the entrance, and hearing the sound of moaning and running water coming from the bathroom area.
Inside the bathroom, charges say officers found the suspect in the bathtub. Police removed him and placed him in handcuffs, noting the water in the tub was blood-stained.
The suspect was transported to the hospital for treatment before going to jail. His first court appearance is scheduled for Aug. 8.
IDAHO — For the first time since Bryan Kohberger was sentenced to life in prison without parole for the chilling murders of four University of Idaho students, the lead investigators and prosecutors have offered a detailed account of the case that shocked the nation.
Speaking exclusively with ABC News, Idaho State Police Lt. Darren Gilbertson and Latah County Prosecutor Bill Thompson shared critical insights into the investigation, the possible motives, and their chilling face-to-face interaction with the now-convicted killer.
A Scene of Horror at 1122 King Road
On the morning of November 13, 2022, authorities discovered a brutal crime scene at 1122 King Road in Moscow, Idaho. Inside the off-campus residence, four students — Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin — had been stabbed to death in the early hours of the morning.
Lt. Gilbertson, who walked through the scene shortly after the murders, described the house’s common areas on the second floor as deceptively normal. “It looked like what you would expect a house full of college kids to look like,” he said.
But upstairs and in the bedrooms, the horror unfolded.
In Xana Kernodle’s room, her body lay on the floor, and her boyfriend, Ethan Chapin, was found dead on the bed. His blood had seeped through the structure, visible from the outside of the house.
On the third floor, Goncalves and Mogen were found together in Mogen’s bed. Goncalves’ injuries were described as “unique” and showing a “horizontal pattern” — though investigators remain uncertain about what caused them.
Police also discovered a knife sheath left behind — a key piece of evidence that would ultimately lead to Kohberger.
The investigation initially yielded few leads. But in December 2022, forensic analysis of the DNA found on the knife sheath pointed authorities to Bryan Kohberger, a Ph.D. criminology student at Washington State University, just across the state border in Pullman.
Once Kohberger’s identity was uncovered, investigators conducted an extensive probe into his life — his digital footprint, financial activity, and physical movements.
“We figured out everything about him: his life, his behaviors, his routines,” said Gilbertson. According to court records, Kohberger’s phone had been near the victims’ house at least 12 times prior to the murders, dating as far back as August 2022. Most of those visits were in the late night or early morning hours.
However, after the murders, “every bit of that changed,” Gilbertson said. “His phone never comes to Moscow again.” Except for one chilling anomaly: Kohberger’s phone pinged near the home between 9:12 a.m. and 9:21 a.m. the morning after the murders.
“My hunch is that it was curiosity,” Gilbertson said. “He had to be wondering, ‘Why is nothing happening?’”
When Kohberger traveled back to Pennsylvania for winter break, police tracked him closely. He was observed wearing gloves in public, even at a pharmacy. On December 30, 2022, police arrested him outside his family home.
Gilbertson participated in the initial interrogation. “We started with just very general questions about Pullman, about WSU … he spoke at length,” he recalled. However, when the officers mentioned Moscow, the atmosphere changed.
“As soon as we mentioned that, then he stopped,” Gilbertson said. “He said, ‘I don’t want to talk anymore.’ He denied knowing anything about Moscow and immediately requested an attorney.”
Who Was the Target?
Despite intense investigation, a clear motive remains elusive.
“He’s the only one that has the ‘why,’” Gilbertson said. “And oftentimes that ‘why’ may only make sense to him.”
Prosecutor Thompson added that Kohberger attempted to delete digital evidence from his devices, suggesting an attempt to “sanitize” his trail. No concrete link between Kohberger and the victims has been established, though Thompson believes either Kaylee Goncalves or Madison Mogen was the intended target.
“It’s more likely than not he did not expect to encounter Xana and the others up and about,” he said. Kernodle had been awake around the time of the murders, likely to retrieve a food delivery.
Survivors and Miraculous Escapes
Two surviving roommates, Dylan Mortensen and Bethany Funke, were spared during the attack. Mortensen reportedly saw a masked man inside the home holding a container-like object with both hands.
“Dylan was so vulnerable,” Thompson said. “That young woman had an angel watching over her.”
The Courtroom Outcome
On July 2, 2025, weeks before the trial was set to begin, Kohberger pleaded guilty to all charges. As part of the plea deal, the death penalty was taken off the table, sparking mixed reactions from victims’ families.
“I respect and recognize that not everybody agrees with the decision we made,” Thompson said. “But we had something that a trial would have never given us — his sworn acknowledgment that the charges are true.”
Kohberger was sentenced to four consecutive life sentences without parole for the murders and the maximum 10 years for burglary.
“This murderer is now in the custody of the Department of Correction,” Thompson said. “That door is closed behind him and it’s not gonna open again till he’s dead.”
Critics questioned why Kohberger’s plea deal didn’t include a confession or the murder weapon’s location.
“There was no legal way we could have compelled those,” said Thompson. “And quite frankly, there is nothing he could have said that I think would have been credible. He’s manipulative.”
Closure, But Not the End
As Moscow and the University of Idaho community try to heal, law enforcement officials remain mindful of the emotional toll the tragedy has left.
“This case is never going to be over and done with,” Thompson said. “The court case will, but for everybody who’s been affected by it — no.”
Though the final chapter has been written in court, the memory of Kaylee, Madison, Xana, and Ethan will continue to resonate through a community forever changed.
The father of the Texas high school student stabbed to death at a track meet made an unexpected appearance at a press conference being held by the parents of the teenage murder suspect.
Jeff Metcalf, who lost his son Austin Metcalf, arrived at the Dallas venue where the parents of Karmelo Anthony were speaking publicly for the first time on Thursday.
Video posted by CBS Texas shows officers from the Dallas Police Department arriving about 40 minutes after the scheduled start of the press conference and escorting Metcalf from the venue without incident.
Anthony family spokesperson Dominique Alexander began the press conference by criticizing Metcalf for deciding to attend the event, saying that his attendance was “a disrespect to the dignity of his son.”
Alexander went on to say: “He knew that it is inappropriate to be near the family, but he did it. Actions speak louder than words.”

Karla Hayes, the mother of Karmelo Anthony, said her family has been under attack from segments of the public since her son allegedly killed Austin Metcalf on April 2.
“Whatever you think what happened between Karmelo and the Metcalf boys, my three younger children, my husband and I didn’t do anything to deserve to be threatened, harassed and lied about,” Hayes said. “The lies and false accusations that have been said about us, especially over the past week, has been overwhelming. The lies and their amplification put my family in danger.”
She also addressed the Metcalf family, saying: “To the family who experienced the loss, my heart truly goes out to you.”

Hayes also made a public plea that her son not be expelled from school just one month from graduation, and instead be allowed to finish his coursework from home,.
Anthony faces a murder charge. He was released from custody this week after the judge overseeing his case reduced his bond from $1 million to $250,000. He is now under house arrest and must wear an ankle monitor at all times.
Anthony allegedly removed a knife from his backpack and stabbed Metcalf while the two were attending a track meet at Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco.
Metcalf was pronounced dead when he arrived at the hospital, according to police.
PEOPLE obtained a copy of the probable cause affidavit in the case, which notes that Anthony had distanced himself from the victim and other athletes when police arrived on the scene.
The arresting officer ordered Anthony to put his hands up, at which time Anthony allegedly shouted: “I was protecting myself.”
Anthony then complied with the officer’s instructions and requests as he was led off the field for questioning, according to the affidavit.
When the officer referred to Anthony as an “alleged suspect,” he seemingly admitted to the crime in response, allegedly saying “I’m not alleged, I did it,” according to the affidavit.
