Here was the question:

Yes
17 (30%)
No
39 (69%)

Congrats to 69% of you. The sentence suggests that someone did a shooting during a police interview. That would be interesting! We need to rewrite!

"When police interviewed the suspect, he admitted that he shot the victim."

    How about "In the police interview, he admitted to the shooting"?

    Sounds good. You could also write, "While being interviewed by police, he admitted to the shooting."
