Hurn v. Greenway, 293 P.3d 480 (Alas. Sup. Ct. 2013)

(plaintiff, on behalf of minor children, sued homeowner after homeowner had danced suggestively with the plaintiff’s mother and teased the plaintiff’s father before he shot and killed the mother and himself; summary judgment granted because homeowner owed no duty to plaintiff to protect them from the criminal acts of the father who was a guest in her home; on appeal, court upheld because plaintiff did not have a special relationship with the victims and criminal; homeowner did not have a duty to avoid provoking the father and the court declined to extend a duty to reduce domestic violence by refraining from teasing those who may be potentially violent; court held imposing this duty would impose the duty on domestic abuse victims to prevent their own abuse).
