Brian Blevins and his girlfriend were helping a friend move into an apartment in Indianapolis, Ind., when Christopher Hampton approached the group and asked if anyone had change for a $5 bill. Blevins told Hampton that there was change in the apartment and invited him inside. Once inside, Hampton drew a gun and attempted to rob Blevins. Blevins, a Right-to-Carry permit holder, drew his own gun and shot and killed Hampton. Indianapolis Police Sgt. Matthew Mount made it clear that charges against Blevins are unlikely, stating, “Everything looks like it was an act of self-defense.” Hampton had been under GPS surveillance at the time of the attempted robbery, having been arrested earlier in the month for home invasion.
