I think you did the right thing.
If you are the first on the scene and the only person not in shock, I
think we each have a responsibility to render assistance to fellow
human beings who are suffering. Saving a life has to come before
taking a photograph.
If you had arrived after medical aid arrived on-scene and there was
little or any assistance you could offer, that is the time to perhaps
take photos, but this would still be hard for many people (myself
included).
Don't be apologetic because you felt compassion and wanted to help
people in need.

I
started to question my decision of not taking any pictures, thought it
over every which way I could and came to the conclusion that I did the
right thing. I'm sure I could have captured some gut renching emotional
images that morning but something wouldn't let me. Guess I'll never make
it as a photojournalist.
later,
