[QUOTE="Glock 'em down, post: 56465, member: 684"] If and when your friggin' lawyer shows up, the first thing he will do is interrupt your conversation with the LEO and make a statement to the LEO kinda like "my client has nothing more to say to you officer" because let's face it - lawyers that get called out to a crime scene without any background on what has just happened naturally assume the person that requested them there are being accused of a crime...which in a sense YOU ARE! BUT...like MB said, make the short and simple statement that you were in fear of your life and you shot the attacker. DO NOT say "I shot AND killed him/her" because you are not a doctor (unless you ARE a doctor) and you are not qualified to make that call. Hell, me and MB as LEOs are not qualified to make that call...that's why we have to call the M.E. to the scene! Ever heard the old saying "Just the facts?" Answer the LEO's question...do not add to and do not take away. LEO: "Did you shoot this man?" YOU: "Yes Officer, I did." LEO: "Was it self defense?" YOU: "Yes officer, it was?" LEO: "Tell me what happened." YOU: "This man assaulted me and asked for my wallet. I reached behind me to where my wallet AND my Glock 19 (and yes, tell him what you shot the BG with-this helps!) drew my weapon and fired striking the man" That's what's wrong with this world...NOBODY trusts the police anymore! I'm not out to get anybody and I don't have any axe to grind with anyone...I'm just doing my job! Like MB said IT'S JUST THAT SIMPLE! Don't do the "shoulda, woulda, coulda" game. JUST THE FACTS!
