Uvalde shooting survivors’ families sue UPS, FedEx for shipping weapon used by gunman

We’re testing using AI-powered tools to provide an audio version of this story. Families of survivors of the Robb Elementary School shooting are suing the package shipping companies UPS and FedEx for allegedly violating state and federal law and their own corporate safety standards. On the day of the shooting, the gunman was armed with a weapon ordered online and shipped to Oasis Firearms in Uvalde where it was then picked up by the shooter. The families also said that the shipment of the Hell Fire trigger to the gunman’s house was a violation of school zone area protections. This lawsuit was filed on the same day families of victims and survivors filed wrongful death lawsuits against Instagram parent company Meta, the maker of the Call of Duty video game “Activision,” and Daniel Defense, the company that manufactured the AR-15 style assault rifle the gunman used.
