Can you find seven things wrong with this riddle?

Seven things are wrong with this riddle. Can you figure them out? The author is Jacob, a friend of eleven-year-old Jon.

One dark morning in the middle of the night, two dead boys got up to fight. Back-to-back they faced each other, drew their swords and shot each other. The deaf policeman heard the noise, and came over and killed the boys. If you think this tale is tall, ask the blind man; he saw it all.

Okay, this was a toughie.

There are 6 obvious things wrong. But, I think the 7th is that the policeman killed boys that were already dead.

Just a guess.
