Springer, J.,
with whom, Steffen, C. J., agrees, dissenting:
I dissent because I disagree with the majority opinion’s conclusion that “the alleged failure to lock the doors to vacant apartments created a foreseeable risk” that an assailant would use the unlocked apartments as an opportunity to leap out and unprovok-edly attack passersby. I do not see this risk as being foreseeable under the circumstances of this case. See Doe v. Linder Const. Co., Inc., 845 S.W.2d 173 (Tenn. 1992), cited in the majority opinion and which agrees with my position.
