On the second anniversary of the 2022 school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, families of the victims have filed two lawsuits which accuse Instagram, gun maker Daniel Defense, and Activision of “grooming” the 18-year-old mass shooter, reports The New York Times.

The shooter purchased an AR-15 just after his 18th birthday and on May 24, 2022 killed 19 students and two teachers at Robb Elementary School, injuring 17 others. The ineffective police response has been the primary subject of criticism since the shooting, and the families recently reached a $2 million settlement with the city of Uvalde.
