I can't comment on the legal issues as I'm not a lawyer. However, IMHO by rendering first said to someone you shoot in self-defense, it shows that you really didn't want to hurt the attacker, and that said attacker left you no choice.
There have been threads in the past which also discussed the right way to prepare for and handle oneself in a post-shooting-in-defense scenario, although I can't seem to find the topics right now. I would encourage anyone interested to also look for these topics with the Search feature; if I find them myself I'll post them here.
