I think the important thing is to use only that force necessary. Shoot BG until he no longer becomes a threat. Now, I understand that will be a panic situation (trust me I've been there), but you should be able to recognize when BG no longer presents a threat. Then immediately secure him via any means possible and make sure there are no other weapons on him. I keep flexi-cuffs, and I think it's perfectly acceptable to use them initially. Then call 911 and administer first aid. You may have to take the cuffs off for first aid, but this will be a judgement call. You should keep your weapon on you in case any other BGs do happen to be present, but there is a danger of it being used as you provide first aid. Be wary of un-securing someone, but sometimes it has to be done.
This is my thought of a response. I think you should be honest, tell the truth, and not play posturing games. The truth comes out 99% of the time anyway, especially with the advancement of forensic evidence. The most important thing is that you have regard for human life and try your best to only use what force is necessary to protect yourself and family. Once the threat is gone, then you administer first aid... preferably with your back against the wall so you can still observe for other BGs. Yes, that means keep the weapon on you. Regard for life is how we should feel regardless, not just to put on a show for the court room.
BTW, I'm aware that there will likely be instances of semi "panic fire". There's a good chance that if I pull the trigger once there will be a minimum of two more following. TRY TO TRAIN ON THE NUMBER OF INITIAL SHOTS FIRED... because I feel it's really important to use only that force that is necessary.
