Get Out of There

The man hops back into his car and leaves the scene. There is often a misconception that one must remain at the crime scene until the police arrive. However, relocating to a safe location is perfectly acceptable if you feel your safety is at risk while contacting authorities.

If you're in a gunfight and the perp flees, call the authorities immediately to report the incident. It's generally best to stay at the scene until law enforcement arrives, but if you feel unsafe, relocating to a secure location while contacting the authorities is acceptable. Additionally, consider contacting a lawyer and informing the police that you're willing to cooperate but prefer to have legal representation present, this is to avoid self-incrimination.
