"If, regrettably, you should have to use deadly force to protect yourself, your family or your property, it’s a messy and very involved process you usually have to go through with to prove such action was indeed justified."

I've always been curious about this process. If you do indeed have to use deadly force to repel a home invader, do the police show up and just arrest you/throw you jail, until it's proven that you were justified in your action? Would it be best to call a lawyer immediately after dialing '911' to report the incident?

Why do you feel the need to report it?
