Well, you do have to answer them eventually or they can hit you with obstruction of justice charges. But answering any police questions beyond your name and contact info without a lawyer? Hell no.
After a shooting incident, you should follow police instructions on putting the gun down and be taken into custody. After that, your mantra to any question beyond your name and contact info (and the contact info for your lawyer) should be, “I don’t feel well, I think I need medical attention. I will only answer further questions after I have been seen by a doctor and only with the assistance of my lawyer.”
Or: All this excitement is making my asthma flare up. I can’t breathe.

Negative on the obstruction charge. Possibly a contempt charge in court if you’re called as a witness.
