Exercise 25

Buckley, a New York City police officer, was shot in the leg when a gun being loaded by a fellow officer discharged in the stationhouse locker room. The city claimed that it was not responsible for Buckley's injuries because the injuries were caused by a fellow employee. Will the city succeed with this argument? (Buckley v. City of New York, 452 N.Y.S.2d 331)
