INDIANAPOLIS -- A woman died after a swordfight involving two men at a home on Indianapolis' far-northwest side early Thursday morning.

Indianapolis police Sgt. Matt Mount said an older man and younger man were involved in an argument at a home in the 5200 block of Raceway Road at about 1 a.m.

One of the men grabbed a sword during the dispute, prompting the other man to also brandish a sword.

The woman stepped between the men and was stabbed. She later died.

All three people were taken to a hospital with injuries.

It was not immediately known if the woman's death was a result of stab wounds or a possible heart attack, police said.

Clearly new sword control laws are needed.

We down here in Martintucky just shake our heads.

One of the reasons we moved from the Detroit area was to get away from all the crime, but lately the local news is featuring enough daily murders that we feel like we are back home.

Foolish to get between two swords without a pen.

Ha! I had a buddy that lived where you’re at. He called it Martintucky too.

I’m over east of you, but we don’t go to Indy unless necessary.

Makes you long for that scene in Indiana Jones that was adlibbed by Ford so the scene could be ended as he had gastric distress.

Why, is sword fighting that serious a threat there?

“One of the men grabbed a sword during the dispute, prompting the other man to also brandish a sword.”

Fortunately, each of the men were wearing their protective suit of armor.

But what happened next? Did they jump on their horses and charge at each other with their jousting lances?

If not for the poor woman’s death, this would be all kinds of awesome.
