An employee went on a shooting rampage at the factory in which he worked, killing six coworkers and wounding eight others. It was known to the employer that the shooter had a deep-seated hatred of African Americans, was emotionally disturbed, had made numerous threats of violence, and routinely brought loaded guns in his truck to work. Can the employer be sued in tort for the deaths and injuries suffered by these employees, or is work- ers' compensation their exclusive remedy? (Blanks v. Lockheed Martin, 2006 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 45822 (S.D. Miss.))
