Officer Chamblin and his partner John Campbell arrested three subjects inside the Tiptoe Inn located at N. E. 6th and Harrison. As Officers began escorting the trio to the patrol car, one suspect drew a pistol and shot both Officers. Chamblin was fatally wounded. The suspect, a highly sought escapee, was shot by Campbell and fled the scene. After other officers arrested the wounded escapee nearby, he recovered and was sentenced to death.
