Almost, but not quite true. He said those words - and completely, he wasn't shot mid-word either - and then one of his soldiers said something to the extent that it was nevertheless not wise to give them a target. To this, Sedgwick answered "Very well, my man, you may stand down". And then, after that last, completed sentence, he was shot.

Still quite ironic, of course. Just not as picturesque.
