Story

The families of the victims of the Robb Elementary School shooting filed a lawsuit on May 24, 2024, against FedEx and UPS, alleging multiple oversights and "reckless disregard for human life" in shipping weapons to the 18-year-old gunman. The lawsuit also targets social media giant Meta, software company Activision, and Daniel Defense, the manufacturer of the AR-15 used in the attack. FedEx is accused of delivering the AR-15-style rifle to a gun store in Uvalde without verifying the buyer's age, while UPS is accused of aiding in the illegal sale of a trigger system. The families seek unspecified damages for physical and emotional harm, increased medical and mental health care visits, and a loss of childhood enjoyment.
