Thanks to all for your insights and answers.

I tried searching for this topic but didn’t find anything.

So bad guy attacks and you shoot him. While he’s no longer a threat, he is down and still alive. What is the requirement or guidelines on rendering first aid?? Assume you’ve called 911. I can see several possibilities.

1. You render first aid but he dies anyway and the family comes after you saying because of improper or insufficient treatment, you hastened BG’s demise.

2. Family claims you intentionally hastened BG’s demise.

3. You don’t assist but then are held responsible for not rendering aid.

4. You allow, encourage others to help while you watch for potential other BGs.

5. You don’t render aid, BG dies but you’re off the hook.

I imagine there are other possibilities but these jump to mind. Does it matter where you are? For example, on the street vs inside your home?

Thanks for your responses.
