Re: Imagine a world without guns ...

In Oklahoma City, Wednesday, a medical doctor fatally stabbed his 9-year-old son and injured his wife, who had tried to intervene.
[A] neighbor ... told police that [the alleged stabber] was supposed to be undergoing treatment for anger, alcohol and drug abuse issues,
The man is currently licensed to practice medicine, though not much longer, I suppose.

Re: Imagine a world without guns ...

In Cortland, Dekalb County, central Illinois, yesterday, a 64-year-old man shot a woman in the face with an arrow during a domestic dispute. She was taken to the hospital. Her condition was not published, but given that she was transferred to a second hospital suggests it is serious.

The shooter was arrested.

Look for "arrow control" to be introduced in the Illinois legislature. :grumble

Re: Imagine a world without guns ...

In Georgia, a man was sentenced to life in prison after a jury convicted him of fatally shooting his mother in the back with a crossbow while she slept.

The 40-year-old man reportedly was angry because his mother told him to get a job or move out of her house.

He claimed the shooting was an accident.

Metal swords were invented about 2,500 years ago. Firearms in their most primitive forms about 500. For most of human history, men have been wreaking mayhem with their bare hands and sharpened rocks and sticks.

Imagine a world without guns ...

Location: Indianapolis
A Northwestside fight involving a sword early this morning left three people stabbed, one of them dead and one under arrest for attempted murder.

Christopher O. Rondeau, 39, is being held on preliminary murder charges at the medical holding facility at Wishard Memorial Hospital. He was arrested by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department after a fight at 5259 N. Raceway Rd. Rondeau was in stable condition.

The fight was reported about 1 a.m. today. Rondeau 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.

An autopsy performed today has determined that a stab wound from a sword was the cause of death.

Adolf Stegbauer was taken to surgery at Wishard, and was reported in serious condition this afternoon.

Police said Rondeau was Franziska Stegbauer’s grandson.

Police do not know how the fight started or who stabbed Stegbauer, Mount said.

Indianapolis Metro Police say a 77-year-old woman who tried to break up a sword fight between her grandson and brother-in-law died of the stab wounds she sustained.

Franziska Stegbauer was attempting to break up the fight between 69-year-old Adolf Stegbauer and 39-year-old Chris Rondeau in the 5200 block of North Raceway early Thursday morning.

IMPD Sgt. Matt Mount says officials will wait for further tests to determine who delivered the fatal blow to the woman before making any arrests on murder charges.

Rondeau has been arrested for attempted murder for the wounds he inflicted upon Adolf Stegbauer. Adolf remains in critical condition.
