A scenario my kids brought up while watching the riots:
What if someone is outside your house and preparing to throw a molotov cocktail at the home. What now?
As they raise their hand to throw shoot the bottle, instant crispy critter...

No, when the police arrive the only words out of your mouth should be “I won’t be speaking with you until my attorney is present”
NOTHING ELSE.

Would you suggest including "I feared for my life."
"I feared for my life. I'm not comfortable making any statements until I talk to my attorney."
I would say something along those lines. Refusing to say anything will result in a few days in jail until they figure things out. Telling them the person broke into your house, you were in fear for your life and had to do what was necessary to protect yourself and family is not incriminating.Would you suggest including "I feared for my life."

The problem with a molotov cocktail and MDFF's post is that I don't know if you have to prove you couldn't abandon the house if it was firebombed. If you can abandon the home, then 2 and 4 don't apply. And if it is a mob just throwing molotov cocktails without looting, then 1 doesn't apply either.
Damn it! Coke through the nose and it isn't the white powder either.

Unless you are LEO, then it might be OK, legally...
On the call to 9-1-1 also give as much pertinent information as possible...your description...what you're wearing...how many others are in the house with you...if you have time to do so. If you have a second person such as your wife have her keep the phone line open for communications...to provide locations in the house of the occupants and to provide that information as necessary.
