Mas Ayoobs column in the August 96 issue of Combat Handguns is devoted
to talking to the police after a shooting.  I've exccerpted the three
key paragraphs from it.
BEGIN QUOTE ***********************************************************
. . . Do these two examples mean that you should follow the common
advice and say nothing at all until an attorney arrives?  Personally, I
don't think so.  An armed citizen or a cop like Alvarez has a
responsibility to call in the incident immediately.  In the short-term
aftermath, the police need to know things that only you can tell them -
where the critical evidence is, who may have seen the shooting, etc.
You also need to establish at the outset that you're the
victim/complainant, and the guy on the ground is the felonious
perpetrator.  If you don't do that, the guy on the ground is doing a
very good imitation of a victim, which leaves you by default as the
erroneously identified perpetrator.
The call-in needs to include the location, preferably repeated, with a
statement like "I've been attacked by an armed robber.  The suspect is
down.  We need police and ambulance immediately."
Arriving officers need to be told, "This man attacked me.  I'll press
charges against him.  His weapon is over there.  Other evidence is over
there.  That person saw it, and that one, and that one.  Officer, you
know how serious this is.  I'll provide you with full cooperation and a
full statement in 24 hours after I've spoken with legal counsel."
And THEN shut up!
