Uvalde Families Sue FedEx, UPS For Shipping AR-15

The Texas Tribune reports:

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 lawsuit claims the companies then shipped an enhanced trigger system to the gunman’s house. This allowed the gunman to convert it into a fully automatic or semi-automatic weapon.

The lawsuit cited the UPS conditions of carriage as proof of a violation. The UPS conditions state that, “Shipments must not contain goods which might endanger human or animal life or any means of transportation.”

Another lawsuit has been filed by families of survivors in Uvalde. This time, they are going after two package shipping companies for mailing the weapon used by the gunman https://t.co/jcbaRg5ByE
