Employee Is Struck and Killed by Lightning

At approximately 4:00 p.m. on August 17, 2006, Employee #1 was framing the inside of a single family home. The foreman noticed that the sky was getting black in the distance, told the work crew to start to clean up, and sent Employee #1 to the roof to help bring down equipment. The employee picked up a nail gun and at that moment the first and only (according to witnesses) bolt of lightning hit him. He started to slide from roof, when a coworker grabbed him and hoisted him down to the ground floor. CPR was started by coworkers, but Employee #1 was pronounced dead by an emergency medical team.
