There is nothing that says you will automatically be arrested, or that your case will go to a grand jury. You may be asked to come in for questioning, but you will have the right to have an attorney present. Each case is different, and depends on a lot of factors. Where did the shooting take place? How many witnesses are there, and are their versions consistent? Does the physical evidence match what you said happened? It is up to the investigating officer(s) on whether or not to make an arrest. It is then up to the prosecutors to decide if they want to seek an indictment, and present it to a grand jury.

Pre-paid legal groups spread the gospel, that if you are involved in a shooting, no matter the circumstances, you will be "hauled away", jailed, and prosecuted. That helps them sell their service. But, if you notice the news reports of people defending themselves, especially in their own homes, they are very seldom arrested, and are usually only asked to give a statement. If after the case has been investigated, and their are no extenuating circumstances, no further action is taken against the shooter. JMHO
