I know we always cite our CCL instructors...
But I'm going to do it again
since he really did give the best advice I think you could get. Here's what he said to do:
Decide
ahead of time who you will call. It should NOT be your spouse (assuming your spouse is not there already). You do not want your spouse to see the mess, to experience first hand the emotions. You are likely to "shut down" and possibly unable to say
anything intelligible, so you need somebody to speak for you, like to tell them your name, your doctor's name, things like that. {my own, btw, is my priest} Call an ambulance if you can. If you are injured call two; and YOU get into the first one that comes. In a civil court case later, it will look better if you have called an ambulance for the BG too. {Remember, in Texas, although it will go to the grand jury, you will be no-billed, but civil cases will likely follow}. If you can talk, tell them that it was self defense, that you were in fear of your life (assuming you were). Let the other person do the rest of the talking.
I know Blackmind and others assume they will not have much of an aftereffect from a shooting, and that topic has been done to death (ha, ha) elsewhere on the forums. But this is good advice. The person you call should be someone you want to have around you at a traumatic moment like this {hence, my priest being the one I would call, or have them call} and that can help you AND keep his/her head in the crisis of the moment.
Hopefully none of us will ever need to do this, but it's something to think about and decide ahead of time.
