November 26, 1986.

Steven Colin McCallum (McGuire, Woods & Battle, Richmond, on brief), for appellee.

Present: All the Justices.

COMPTON, Justice.

In this insurance case, we decide whether an intentional injury exclusion clause in a homeowners policy precludes coverage for an insured who, while mentally ill, shot and injured a friend.

On February 10, 1982, Linwood Clyde Davis shot appellant Kevin M. Johnson in Johnson's home in the City of Richmond. Davis and Johnson had been acquainted for many years. Davis, age 27, formerly had been "a mild mannered type person."
