By 10%

In the United States, insurers say the cost of buying protection against mass shootings has jumped over 10% in 2022.

Demand for policies has risen following recent attacks, including the murder of 19 children and two teachers at a Texas primary school last month.

The insurance typically covers victim legal cases, building repairs, medical bills and trauma counselling.
