Also, the instructors told us after 911 is called, and the cops get there, all you say to the cops is "there is the threat, this is my firearm, and these are the witnesses, I will answer any questions you have 24 hours after I have talked to my lawyer." and that's it. Though I imagine it would be hard to hold your emotions and start just spitting out how everything played out to the cops immediately.

That's some great advice from your instructor. I usually advise "I was in fear for my life and I'll speak to you when I've calmed down and I have a lawyer present." It gives you time to collect yourself and prevents you from saying something that could bite you later.
