Houston, United States—Several families whose children were killed or wounded in a mass shooting at their Texas school two years ago have sued the gun manufacturer as well as Instagram and video game company Activision for marketing the weapon, their lawyer said Friday.
The families accuse the companies of wrongful death and gross negligence, saying gun manufacturer Daniel Defense, as well as Meta-owned Instagram and Microsoft-owned Activision, whose “Call of Duty” video game features the weapon, marketed it to “insecure, adolescent boys,” according to a statement from lawyer Josh Koskoff.
“Well before he was old enough to purchase it, he was targeted and cultivated online by Instagram, Activision and Daniel Defense,” Koskoff said in his statement. Activision issued a statement saying the Uvalde shooting was “horrendous and heartbreaking in every way” and expressed sympathies to the families.Meta and Daniel Defense did not immediately respond to AFP’s request for comment.
