The attached article above summarizes the tragic story of a 77-year-old grandmother who died Thursday morning in Indianapolis. She either died from a heart attack or from sword wounds. As sad as this is, I couldn't help but snicker at the thought of two grown men, 39-year old Chris Rondeau and 69-year-old Adolf Stegbauer, dueling with swords. Both men are in critical condition and under arrest for attempted murder.
The journalist who wrote the article did a great job of reporting facts. If I were assigned to such a story, I wouldn't be able to restrain a sarcastic remark or two. The matter-of-fact tone, which is expected, makes this article all the more hilarious. The headline grabbed my attention, and I'm glad it did. Its well written and made me laugh.
