You should not talk to the police or anyone regardless of how clean and well defined the shoot was without an attorney. You need to know your Miranda rights; they can’t force you to talk without an attorney. It doesn’t matter if the guy you shot was a meth head raping your mother with a knife to her throat, it is never about what the situation was but what it can be made to be. Consider also that almost everyone on earth has a relative that can come after you in civil court and if they don’t you always have to worry about the DA.
