Another reason not to talk to the police. Even if you are innocent, you can easily say something a prosecutor can construe as showing guilt. Everything you say can be held against you, but nothing you say can be used for your defense.

This can’t be said enough.
The only things you should say to the police in a case like this is your name and I have nothing else to say until I have my lawyer present.
If for no other reason you need the time to calm down and start thinking rationally again. Someone who has just been through a life and death struggle is pumped full of adrenaline and is not in a normal state of consciousness.
Also most of us are not lawyers and may not be aware of all of the laws that may apply to situations such as this barber is involved in here. And even if you are a lawyer you are still in a compromised state of mind and need assistance.
The police are not your friends and even if they tell you that they are just trying to help you they aren’t and you should not believe that they are. It is not in your best interest.
