463 S.E.2d 681 (1995)

21 Va. App. 268

George A. ROBERSON, CPA and Selective Insurance Company of America v. Bonnie S. WHETSELL, Administrator of the Estate of Michael B. Whetsell.

Court of Appeals of Virginia, Alexandria.

November 21, 1995.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Edward H. Grove, III, Fairfax (Brault, Palmer, Grove, Zimmerman, White & Mims, on brief), for appellants.

William C. Mims, Leesburg (Worcester, Mims & Atwill, P.C., on brief), for appellee.

Present: MOON, C.J., WILLIS, J., and HODGES, Senior Judge.

Michael B. Whetsell was shot and killed as he drove from his employer's office to the building where he worked as a custodian.

We agree and affirm because credible evidence proved that Whetsell's exposure to gunfire was heightened by the environment in which he worked.
