Ask yourself these questions:
Is the intruder wielding a weapon?
Are you within the effective range of that weapon?
Does the intruder show actions that make you reasonably believe they will use that weapon to harm/kill you?
If you can answer all three of those questions with a "yes" then deadly force is authorized in 99.9999% of cases.
