I'm trying not to make too light of this--someone died--but there's something positively medieval about a fight that escalates to swords. From April 13, 2009 Indianapolis channel 6:
INDIANAPOLIS -- A man died Monday, days after he was involved in a swordfight with the grandson of a woman who was killed when she tried to intervene in the fight, police said.Someone clearly did not understand the importance of responding appropriately to a sword. Swords have enormous romance to them; but they are also still incredibly deadly weapons. They never run out of ammunition; they do not jam, or misfire. If someone draws a sword on you, you respond the way that any proper fedora-wearing archaeologist does.
Adolf Stegbauer, 69, died from complications of a stab wound. Charges pending against Chris Rondeau, 39, were expected to be upgraded. Police said he stabbed Stegbauer.
Franziska Stegbauer, 77, also died as a result of stab wounds after the fight early Thursday morning, but police were not initially sure which of the men had stabbed her.
Rondeau and Adolf Stegbauer got into an argument at a home in the 5200 block of Raceway Road that escalated when one of the men grabbed a sword, prompting the other man to also brandish a sword.
