thats a terrible idea and could cost you some time in prison and a hefty civil suit.
Can you point me to examples of where a justified use of a firearm later led to prison time and/or a civil suit? I've heard this many times before, even from an attorney that spoke at our CHP class, but I've not read where this has actually occurred.

Used to happen frequently until laws were passed with regards to civil immunity and permissive CCW schemes had expanded to most states.

I know the guy that shot the black guy that was trying to kill a police officer in baton rouge a few years back had to deal with a lawsuit. since then, the state has modified the laws to favor the justified shooter.
Thats not what I am talking about though. You absolutely do not want to tell a police/investigator anything without a lawyer present. You are asking to frick up and say the wrong thing in a tense situation that may cost you in the long run. what you tell a cop in the heat of the moment may end up being the deciding factor in what is justified and what isnt.

Brian Harrison - george temple incident, Perry Stevens was cleared an any criminal wrongdoings but has had multiple civil suits that he has had to defend on his dime
Yoshi Hattori Rodney Peairs, again no criminal wrong doing but lost a civil case to the tune of 1 million, homeowners paid the policy limits of I think 100K and Peairs went bankrupt
