Uvalde shooting victims’ families file suit against gunmaker, Meta, and Microsoft

Published



The families of those killed during the Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde, Texas, filed a lawsuit against gun manufacturer Daniel Defense, Meta, and Microsoft on Friday.

This lawsuit comes on the second anniversary of the day a gunman killed 19 children and two teachers at the school. The 18-year-old shooter used a gun made by Daniel Defense. In addition, the families allege that Activision Blizzard, whose parent company is Microsoft, marketed assault rifles to teenage boys with its Call of Duty video game and that Instagram, whose parent company is Meta, allowed the marketing to happen on its platform. Now their wrongful death lawsuit is seeking damages from these companies.
