I have heard 2 different rulings.
1. Ball at the 1 because the ball was at Rest so that means the play is dead right there.
2. Touchback as there was a force to bring it into the endzone.

If the ball had not come to rest, you would have to rule on whether K2 gained possession of it while it was still in the field of play.
