That's enough convincing for me.

My father in law, who is an assistant Chief of Police (who worked his way up from patrol on up) for a local city gave me the opposite advice. He pretty much echoed what Jumping Frog said up there

if I thought it was a justified shoot, I am going to act like an ordinary good citizen, not a criminal defendant. An ordinary good citizen is going to say something like ""Officer, I am the one who called you, this is the man who attacked me, he may still have a weapon, I do not know if there are any more." An ordinary good citizen is also going to take appropriate steps to protect his interests.

He said after giving as brief a statement as possible to then let the office know you are very shaken up from being in fear for your life (or something to that effect) and that you just can't answer any more questions until you have a chance to consult with your attorney. But at least help them figure out in those first few moments who the BG is and that you were acting in self-defense. Don't get into details, just the shortest most factual statement possible.
