The opinion of the court was delivered by This is a workmen's compensation appeal from a Sedgwick County district court judgment affirming an order of the workmen's compensation director which allowed death benefits to the claimant-appellee. The original appeal was dismissed by the Court of Appeals and we granted a petition for review. On August 11, 1976, Elmer Wallace Hensley was employed by Carl Graham Glass. On this day, Mr. Hensley and other employees were installing glass around air conditioners on the roof of a parking garage adjacent to Page Court in downtown Wichita, Kansas. Shortly before 3:00 p.m. a sniper, subsequently identified as Michael Soles, began firing rifle shots from a balcony on the 26th floor of the nearby Holiday Inn. Ten individuals at various locations in the immediate area were killed or wounded. Mr. Hensley was struck and killed by the sniper fire while working on the nearby roof. There was no connection between the sniper and any of his victims.
