What should you do if you're involved in a self-defense shooting?

  1. Leave the scene immediately

  2. Call 911 and request police and medical assistance

  3. Only inform your attorney

  4. Dispose of the firearm

The correct answer is: Call 911 and request police and medical assistance

In a self-defense shooting, the most important thing to do is ensure the safety and well-being of yourself and others involved. Option A, leaving the scene immediately, can put you in danger and also hinder the police investigation. Option C, only informing your attorney, may delay medical treatment for yourself or others. Option D, disposing of the firearm, could be seen as tampering with evidence and may have legal consequences. It's crucial to call 911 and request both police and medical assistance to properly document the situation and ensure everyone receives the necessary care.
