Karen is an employee at a national church foundation and


Karen is an employee at a national church foundation, and recently stopped dating John, who also works at the foundation. John has been stalking Karen, and last week he finally delivered on his threat to hurt her - by shooting her in her office with his M-4 rifle. She survived, and John killed himself. She sued the church foundation for failure to take reasonable steps to prevent injury to her. Which of the following is true?

a) This does not arise out of the employment and the employer is not a party, so it is not liable.

b) She won't be able to win a suit against her employer because she failed to exercise reasonable care in her dealings with John.

c) Karen will win because she and John both worked at the company, and the injury occurred in the workplace.

d) Karen will win if she can prove that the employer had knowledge of the danger to Karen, and didn't provide reasonable steps to prevent injury to her.
