Families of Uvalde victims sue Meta, video game maker and gun firm

According to the lawsuits, the Uvalde attacker had played versions of Call Of Duty since he was 15, including one that allowed him to effectively practise with the version of the rifle he used at the school.

The families of 19 victims of the Uvalde school shooting announced new lawsuits on Friday against Instagram parent company Meta Platforms, the maker of the video game Call Of Duty and the gun company that made the assault rifle used in the shooting in Texas.

The lawsuits against Meta, Activision and Daniel Defense were announced on the two-year anniversary of the attack on Robb Elementary School.
