A lawyer for the families called the companies a 'three-headed monster' that knowingly exposed the gunman to the weapon. But a video game firm has hit back at the idea playing them is linked to violence.

The families of some of the victims of the Uvalde school shooting have announced new legal action against three companies they say effectively helped to 'train' the gunman to carry out the attack. Legal action against Instagram parent company Meta Platforms, the maker of the video game series Call Of Duty and the company that made the gun used in the May 2022 shooting was announced on the two-year anniversary of the attack in Texas in the US.

Some of the same families also filed a $500m lawsuit against Texas state police officials and officers who responded to the shooting but waited more than an hour to confront Ramos inside the classroom as students and teachers lay dead, dying or wounded. 'Baseless accusations' Call Of Duty makers, Activision, called the shooting 'horrendous and heartbreaking in every way'.
