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.

We like going to Columbus, but the fastest way is across 252 or 44 from SR37 where we live and my wife hates driving on those winding roads. We end up in Greenwood a lot too, but prefer going south.

I’m thinking it’s two white trash men deciding to kill each other with the nearest object they could find, which was the $75 set of samurai swords laying around. After “Gunther” spent four hours each putting an edge on them as sharp as the cheap pot metal blade would hold of course.

Wait, there's more...

INDIANAPOLIS -- A man was arrested on an attempted murder charge Thursday after a woman died following a swordfight between him and another man at a home on Indianapolis' far-northwest side.

Franziska Stegbauer, 77, died after she tried to intervene in a fight between her grandson, Chris Rondeau, 39, and her brother-in-law, Adolf Stegbauer, 69, at about 1 a.m. in the 5200 block of Raceway Road.

Police said the two men got into an argument that escalated into a battle involving swords that both men brandished.

Franziska Stegbauer was stabbed, but an autopsy will be conducted to determine if she died from stab wounds or from a heart attack.

The attempted murder charge stems from the attack involving Adolf Stegbauer, who underwent surgery at Wishard Memorial Hospital and was in serious condition late Thursday morning.


Chris Rondeau
