Remember the news media has NO authority. You do not have to talk to them. Don't apologize for defending yourself. Such statements are equated with feelings of guilt. Such statements can cost you later in a court of law.
Persons involved in shooting incidents face a great amount of stress.
Psychological problems sometimes appear, and even physical ones such as sleeplessness, headaches, diarrhea, and even heart problems. These problems are common and effect even trained soldiers and law enforcement officers. If you encounter any of these problems seek professional help. The crime scene supervisor will not allow it to happen. The Police Union, the PBF or an FOP Lawyer must be present prior to the officer involved giving a statement.
