Do
I have to Render First Aid for a Bad Guy? You world just turned really bad. You had to shoot a bad
guy. Not just that, but you had to shoot them twice or more to stop them. Now
what? You just called 911 and are waiting for the ambulance. How do you spend
your time? Should you render first aid to show your compassionate nature? NO!
These are things you know. They mark you as the innocent
victim. You did not go looking for a fight. It came to you quickly and
violently. The physical assault is resolved. Spend the time checking on your
loved ones without moving from a safe spot or covering the bad guy. If the bad
guy is talking let the phone you used to call 911 record
the conversation. Remember, all 911 calls are recorded. Make your call and put
the phone down as you wait for the police.
These
are things you do not know. These are things that could turn the fight and kill
you. Do not get sucked into a bad situation. Your adrenal glands have pumped
adrenalin into your blood and screwed up your system. Your perception of the
world is skewed. Stay in control of your situation.
Keep your distance! The
bad guy chose to attack and invade your home. They chose to confront you. You
responded and the attack is over. Check on your family. The bad guy is the
responsibility of someone else. You protected the ones that you love. If you do
not require first aid, the incident is over. Try
to recreate the scene in your mind to make a clear and accurate report to the
police. Get in touch with your attorney. Be very careful with the conversations
with the police and EMTs. These remarks will be recorded. This is not the time
to say, “Yeah, I shot the SOB. Hope he dies!” Medical
assistance is not your responsibility. Do not get close to the bad guy. How
safe were you before the bad guy showed up. That is the place you should stay. Remember: the bad guy invaded your home
and threatened you. You do not have a responsibility to render first aid.
