Robb Elementary School,Ups,Fedex

Families of survivors of the Robb Elementary School shooting have sued UPS and FedEx, arguing the two shipping giants violated the law by delivering a dangerous weapon to the gunman who slaughtered 17 children and two teachers in Uvalde.

The suit, filed in Bexar County district court, alleges the companies knew the shooter was underage at the time he bought the AR-15-style rifle.

The lawsuit, filed late last month in Bexar County District Court, alleges the companies should be held responsible for delivering an AR-15-style rifle to the gunman along with a specialized system that they said allowed him to convert the weapon so it could fire semi-automatic or fully automatic bursts.

The plaintiffs argue that the shipping companies' alleged failure to take precautions when shipping the gun and converter makes them responsible for the trauma suffered by those who survived the 2022 massacre. The incident is the deadliest school shooting in Texas history.
