Tess Mata, a 10-year-old killed in the Robb Elementary School shooting, was a social media enthusiast. Following her death, her family believes the shooter's access to online gun content and video games contributed to the tragedy. The Matas and other Uvalde families are suing multiple companies, alleging negligence and wrongful death, claiming products like "Call of Duty" glamorized violence. They seek accountability as they face defendants invoking First Amendment protections against their claims.
The Matas and three other families from Uvalde will travel more than 1,200 miles this week to confront the companies in L.A. County Superior Court, where they have filed claims for negligence, aiding and abetting and wrongful death.
Veronica Mata told The Times: 'They glorify these weapons. They made it enticing for young kids to want to purchase these guns, and kids that young are so receptive to these types of things.'
