The companies violated state and federal laws and their own safety standards by shipping the teenage gunman an AR-15 rifle and accessories, the suit contends.
Federal Express and United Parcel Service bear responsibility for the suffering of children who were in a Uvalde elementary school during a mass shooting two years ago because the companies shipped the gunman an assault rifle and accessories, according to a new lawsuit. 'The Plaintiffs assert that the actions of UPS Federal Express ... caused the delivery and the modification of a weapon into the hands of a person likely to act as a school shooter,' the lawsuit states.
Lawsuit filed on Uvalde massacre anniversary targets Instagram, 'Call of Duty' creator and gun maker The suit, filed in state district court in Bexar County, seeks a jury trial to determine compensatory and punitive damages, including for personal injuries, emotional distress, lost future wages and medical expenses. The children 'suffered mental and emotional trauma as a result of hearing the shots, fearing for their lives and the lives of their classmates,' the complaint states.
Uvalde shooter acted out ‘Call of Duty’ scenario, even lifting dialogue from the game, lawsuit states It also focuses on the gunman's online purchase of a Hellfire Gen 2 snap-on trigger system, which converts a firearm from semi-automatic to fully automatic. The shooter was underage when he bought the attachment, but UPS shipped it to Uvalde anyway, according to the lawsuit.
Remembering the victims of Robb Elementary The lawsuit says the Hellfire system has been used in other mass shootings and 'has been publicized in the media.' The plaintiffs maintain that FedEx and UPS violated state and federal laws, including one that regulates the interstate commerce, sale and possession of firearms, in addition to the companies' own internal safeguards.
