Probably the worst time to say anything at all. Pretty sure the standard advice is call an ambulance ASAP and only say “someone has been shot”. They can put you in jail at any time, the hard part has to be keeping you there.

nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day agoI think if you shoot someone it might be worthwhile to at least give a brief non-incriminating statement about what happened so that they don’t put you in jail right away

No it isn’t. Just say nothing. It’s better to end up in jail right away and have a lawyer than to say something “non-incriminating”, which later turns out to be incriminating anyway, and then end up in jail after all with evidence against you, that you provided yourself.

yea, that’s perfectly fine too. but getting processed through jail takes a really long time. you will be in there for hours before being allowed to call your lawyer.
