About 5 years ago, it was being suggested that the Wolf-Rayet star WR 104 might cause a dangerous gamma-ray burst when it goes supernova, but these things are highly directional, and I think the current consensus is that it is not aligned closely enough to be harmful. Apep is at a similar distance (~8,000 light years), and the article seems to be suggesting it will likely be more powerful than WR 104 is expected to be, but there is at least one news article is claiming that it is probably not pointed at us.

(On looking into this, I began to think that Apep and WR104 might be the same thing, but they have different locations.)
