The families of those killed in the Uvalde school shooting in 2022 have filed lawsuits against Call of Duty publisher Activision, accusing the company of «grooming» the 18-year-old who shot and killed 19 children, two teachers, and injured 17 others.
As reported by The New York Times (£) (thanks, PC Gamer), the dual lawsuits – one filed in California, the other in Texas – claim that the killer bought a Daniel Defense M4 V7 on his 18th birthday after seeing the gun in Call of Duty games.
It’s the lawsuits’ position that by using real-life weapons, Activision is «the most prolific and effective marketer of assault weapons in the United States».
