I would stay in my bedroom and call 911. Gun pointed at the door.
This is the point I made once and got hammered for.

Assuming this is the setup... and you can hear the badguy trying to breakdown the door --- DO YOU SHOOT HIM BEFORE HE MAKES IT THROUGH? i.e. shoot through the door?

IMO, in this case, you certainly have the tactical advantage... you know where he is, he doesn't know where (exactly) you are (in terms of where to shoot). Once the door is down/open, he could be at you in under 2 seconds and you may be far less able to control the adrenaline and make the shot -- or you may get shot first (if the BG is armed).
