So... this has been running around in my mind all week.

Hypothetical:

I'm involved in an incident, attacker is on the ground, "cleared" the area, call 911: What do I say?

"There's been a shooting, the perpetrator is down"

"I've been involved in a shooting incident, the perp is down"

"I was attacked"... how should you phrase it?

Do you add "send an ambulance"? I've heard that on any such call an ambulance is automatically dispatched, but that may not be true. (I've not come close enough to the attacker to know that they're still alive or not, but the attacker isn't moving.) Would it be held against you if you didn't say "send an ambulance"? (Lack of compassion).

End Hypothetical

Just thinking...

I've seen a lot of questions about the re-holstering issue, That appears to be definitive.

Charles Cotton says approximately the same thing in his class. He added that because your adrenaline is still pumping, your ears are ringing from the event, you need to give the basic information on the scene and then, after you've had time to calm down to a steady state, and consult your attorney, you can then talk more calmly about the incident. (These are all my words, in recollection of what I remember Charles saying. And that was a while ago.).
