I’m just curious, if you were involved in a shooting, would you speak freely with investigators or shut up and get a lawyer and have any question presented to the lawyer for response?

“the officers were both involved in administering life saving measures.”

Well, that was mighty whitey of “them”.

Police officers are instructed to be cooperative at the scene of any shooting
However, for their own protection, they are also instructed to postpone any statement until they have a lawyer present
due to the emotional shock of an 'officer involved shooting'.
There is even more 'shock' or post traumatic syndrome (PTSD) if the shooting involves a homicide, or fatality, and voluntary responses are discouraged within 24 hours.
