Hypothetical:
I'm involved in an incident, attacker is on the ground, "cleared" the area, call 911: What do I say?
"There's been a shooting, the perpetrator is down"
"I've been involved in a shooting incident, the perp is down"
"I was attacked"... how should you phrase it?
Do you add "send an ambulance"? I've heard that on any such call an ambulance is automatically dispatched, but that may not be true. (I've not come close enough to the attacker to know that they're still alive or not, but the attacker isn't moving.) Would it be held against you if you didn't say "send an ambulance"? (Lack of compassion).

Just thinking...
Call 911. Say, "I am the victim of an (attack,robbery, assault, etc.). I was forced to defend myself using deadly force. I need police and ambulance immediately to (address). I will cooperate with the police when they arrive, and I will sign a complaint."
