So basically, DON'T SAY ANYTHING. I've watched a BATF court case in person. They didn't prosecute the kid for "gun running". They got him for lying on federal paperwork! DON'T MAKE UP STORIES. What they'll prosecute you for is lying, not for illegal gun possession.

"
Don't make things up" is the best advice I've heard in a while!
No Drama, no hysterics, no bragging. If your mind is going a mile a minute, chance are you may say something that is not in your best interest.
Just say you’re not feeling well and want to see a doctor. That ends things right there. See the doctor and call your lawyer.
If you killed the perp, it's a homicide case. It might be justified but it's still a homicide.
Unless it's really cut and dry, dead man in your daughters bedroom wearing a mask with a chainsaw, expect the police to treat you as a suspect in a homicide, AKA murder. They are not your friends, so who cares if they get pissed if you don't go and incriminate yourself.
You will probably end up in front of a grand jury in most states. Make sure your lawyer handle criminal cases or can refer you to one who does.
Find out who represents the FOP in your town and when in doubt use them.
True Story
An old vet disarmed a robber, fired a few shots at the prep as he was running away with out hitting him.
The victim runs the perp down and is pistol whipping the bad guy about the head when the police show up. The ambulance takes the perp to the hospital and the old vet rides down to the Roundhouse with a nice detective.
Old Vet tells nice detective about shooting at an un-armed fleeing perp.
Nice detective says you must have been firing warning shots.
Old Vet says No I was just missing him.
Nice detective says NO YOU WERE FIRING WARNING SHOTS.
Old Vet goes, Ah, that’s right, I was firing warning shots.
Nice detective smiles and does not have to lock up Old Vet for assault with a deadly weapon.
Don't count on nice detectives.
