Apr 10 2009Woman Tries To Break Up Sword Fight, Dies
In the latest of a string of sword attacks, a woman tried to break up her husband and grandson involved in a serious swordfight, and ended up getting stabbed and killed. And that, my friends, is why you always bring a gun to a swordfight.
The fight was reported about 1 a.m. today. Rondeau (39) and Adolf Stegbauer, 69, both of Indianapolis, were "actively involved in a sword fight," IMPD spokesman Sgt. Matt Mount said in a statement. One man used what police described as a World War II Japanese officer's sword and another had a thin blade sword, although investigators were not immediately certain which weapon was used by which man.
Preliminary reports from police said that Franziska Stegbauer, 77, Indianapolis, tried to break up the fight and was fatally stabbed. Police found all three victims inside the residence on Raceway Road when they arrived early this morning.Police said Rondeau was Franziska Stegbauer's grandson.
Well Happy Easter to you too! Thankfully, tipster Chuck Nunchuck was kind enough to create a graphic of what the confrontation obviously looked like, so that was nice. Good lookin', Chuck, but it could have used some more PEW PEW. Love that stuff.

Thanks to Chuck Nunchuck, twice as deadly as that sissy-boy Chuck Norris.

What's with this rash of sword related deaths recently?
I heard a story exactly like this coupla weeks ago... except the woman wasn't anyone's wife, she was a porn star...
And the swordfight was in her mouth.

"Thanks to Chuck Nunchuck, twice as deadly as that sissy-boy Chuck Norris."
thats BS, chuck norris could take out nunchuck with both hands and feet bound behind his back, his mouth gagged, and chained at the waste... nunchuck gets an armored truck and heavy turrets. Nunchuck still loses

Did anyone else catch that the two fighting were named Rondo and Adolf? wtf? Sounds like a white-trash b-movie gone wrong (or right).

Too bad she didnt have a lighsabre. I think she may have won the sword fight and its more likely that police could have identified it.
Poor to hear that conflict within families has resulted in such untimely deaths. How terrible.
21. KingPin - April 10, 2009 11:16 PM
Lol @ 5 also.
