Families of Uvalde shooting victims sue Meta, video game company and gun manufacturer

Exactly two years after the Uvalde school massacre, families of victims Friday filed multiple state lawsuits in California and Texas against social media giant Meta, Activision — the maker of the popular video game 'Call of Duty' — and Daniel Defense, the manufacturer of the AR-15 which the teen gunman used in the shooting.

According to the lawsuits, the Uvalde gunman downloaded 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare' in November 2021, and had been playing previous iterations of 'Call of Duty' since he was 15 years old. The video game prominently features a model of the AR-15, known as DDM4V7, that was used in the shooting, the lawsuits allege. 'Simultaneously, on Instagram, the shooter was being courted through explicit, aggressive marketing,' attorneys said.
