Anyway, if you're gonna be all "responsible citizen" on us, your first call
should be to 911 for an AMBULANCE. The entire conversation should be:
"Gunshot victim, (address)." When the paramedics get there, THEY will call
the cops. That way you're not on the (recorded) hook for what you might say
to the police dispatcher.
If that is how they do it in your area, I would probably quit as a
medic. Everywhere else, you have a gunshot victim call they roll the
cops (probably quite a few) immediately along with the ambulance.
Depending on the area, there are some places where the ambulance
protocols say the cops should secure the area before the medics are
allowed in.

Your SECOND call should be to your lawyer. If you don't have a lawyer, you
should complain to the paramedics about feeling faint, heart pounding, chest
pains, and priapism. They'll take you to the hospital so you can delay
talking to the cops until you have adequate advice.

If you tell about priapism it has to be present for more than 4 hours
(g).
Or, you can tell the cops at the scene that you don't want to talk to
them until your attorney arrives. And don't fall for all that bunk
about how that makes you look guilty.
