My Close Range Gunfighting instructor had a really good lecture on what to do after the shooting. I won't go over the whole lecture, but the key advice I plan to follow is this. Provide responding officers enough information to ensure their safety and establish you as the victim and this as a defensive shooting. Request immediate medical care (even if not wounded, the stress will be high). Use that time to get in contact with your attorney and let them handle all further communication.

It is too easy to say something that will get taken out of context or at least sound very different than intended. Once on the lips, forever on the record.

Charles, I'd be interested in your lecture. I've never had anyone that can accurately represent the civil aspects of shootings.
