Just my thoughts and what [Pre-paid legal service] has told me!
Are you calling the ambulance for yourself or the [hypothetical] person you have shot?
You are calling the ambulance hopefully for the other person but possibly you too if you are shot. If you are shot request two ambulances. Also you might need it for anxiety or something related to the shooting or a by stander. Better to get the wheels rollin and not need them than to need them and not have them. Also, should it go to court, which it will, calling an ambulance will show you didn't want them to die and you were just protecting your self, your property, or someone else's life/property.
