1993Obviously, governmental immunity does not attach to every action of an official having discretionary duties but only to those involving an exercise of that discretion (see, Haddock v City of New York, 75 NY2d 478, 484-485 , supra)” Finally, in McCormack v City of New York ( 80 NY2d 808 ), the Court of Appeals held that the estate of a policeman killed by an emotionally disturbed individual could not recover on a negligence claim based on the commanding police officer’s order at the scene not to fire at the individual even if he discharged his weapon.

1980Applying the functional analysis test to separate lines of insurance utilized by the Court of Appeals in Graphic Arts ( 45 NY2d 551, 558 , supra), it may be said that such risks are more properly insured as part of an employer’s liability policy (which is written primarily to secure the policyholder against his common-law liability for injuries resulting to employees [see Appleman, Insurance Law and Practice, § 4571; Insurance Law, § 46, subd 15; 11 Couch, Insurance 2d, § 44.13]), than they are under the instant type of premises liability policy.
