Uvalde families sue Meta and 'Call of Duty' maker on 2nd anniversary of school attack
Families in Uvalde took more legal action Friday on the second anniversary of the Robb Elementary School attack, suing Meta and the maker of “Call of Duty."
AUSTIN, Texas — Families in Uvalde took more legal action Friday on the second anniversary of the Robb Elementary School attack, suing Meta Platforms, which owns Instagram, and the maker of the video game “Call of Duty” over claims the companies bear responsibility for products used by the teenage gunman.
They also filed another lawsuit against Daniel Defense, which manufactured the AR-style rifle used in the May 24, 2022, shooting — and has already been sued.
It added to mounting lawsuits over the attack and came as the small Texas city gathered to mourn the anniversary of one of the deadliest school shootings in U.S. history. The gunman killed 19 teachers and two teachers officers finally confronted and shot him after waiting more than an hour to enter the fourth-grade classroom.
