Brandon, FL (AP) - A teenager who kept a 29-inch sword displayed on his bedroom wall had died after the weapon fell and slashed his shoulder and neck, authorities said. Joshua Hershberger, 15, was in his bedroom with two younger siblings Monday night when a ball they were bouncing knocked the sword off the wall, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said.

Wow, what an awful freak accident.
I am MUCH too paranoid of a Mom to have had a freakin' sword displayed on my kids bedroom wall.
