According to the Armed Citizen five year analysis of 452 incidents, 84% of incidents occur at home or in a business and the typical distance is "short but in excess of touching distance"
No reason to dispute that, but the only incidents for which data were collected involved successful outcomes for the actors; also, the data were based on unsolicited reports, and I think that puts the analysis into some possible question.

Personally, if I were to shoot someone under any circumstance, I would not provide any information about the incident to anyone except to my attorney or on the advice of same, until and unless I had been tried and acquitted, and then, for reasons having to do with potential civil liability, only upon advice of counsel.

It ain't officially a "good shoot" until the jury has returned that verdict; more accurately, it can always be re-evaluated until such time as that has occurred.
