I get the "say as little as possible to start, then STFU" angle. But one poster suggesting saying this to 911
I think that's some weird phrasing. I'd hate to end up in court and have to explain how the guy was coming at me, I aimed at his chest and pulled the trigger and he fell to the ground bleeding from his chest and I said to 911 "possible gunshot wound" then hang up ?? Seems odd to me.
Also, wouldn't it be best to let the cops that are on their way know that it's the bad guy that's down so that they don't come into the situation completely blind and thinking there's a down civilian and a possible shooter in the bushes? I know they'd never come in completely relaxed, but I'd like them to have as much info on the situation they're walking into as possible.
VERY generically: "Need an ambulance for a man down, possible gunshot wound. Give location and HANG UP!"
