I think if you shoot someone it might be worthwhile to at least give a brief non-incriminating statement to the officers on the scene so that they don’t put you in jail right away. this is the only exception I can think of
No it isn’t. Just say nothing. It’s better to end up in jail right away and have a lawyer than to say something “non-incriminating”, which later turns out to be incriminating anyway, and then end up in jail after all with evidence against you, that you provided yourself.
yea, that’s perfectly fine too. but getting processed takes a really long time. you will be hanging out with guys pacing the room coming down off a coke binge for hours before being allowed to call your lawyer.
Probably the worst time to say anything at all. Pretty sure the standard advice is call an ambulance ASAP and only say “someone has been shot”. They can put you in jail at any time, the hard part has to be keeping you there.

importantly, you’re pointing out witnesses and evidence before they disappear
