What assistance is needed? What does this mean? That you need police, ambulance etc?

Yes. They need to know what services to dispatch to the scene. Ie: police, fire, or EMS.

In the example of you shooting someone, you would need police to come secure the scene (because even though you didn't commit a crime per se, it is still a crime scene) and collect evidence. You would also need EMS to try and possibly perform care on the person who was shot.

The EMS thing gets in some people's head, but the bottom line (for me anyway) is I do not want to kill another person (despite what some would have you believe about people who carry firearms). That firearm is a tool to keep me and my family safe. I will, however, neutralize the threat to myself or my family. If EMS is able to care for and save that person's life, then so be it. But as I said, first priority is making sure the threat is neutralized
