Use of Deadly Force in Virginia

I'm a resident of Norfolk, Va. I live in a somewhat rough area of town near the campus of Old Dominion University. There have been quite a few home invasions/murders in the area in the past few years. A friend of mine recently shared a cell in Norfolk City Jail with an inmate who was serving 18 months for shooting an invader in his own home. He didn't kill the intruder, but left him badly wounded with a shot to the face. He was originally charged with attempted murder, but the charge was lessened to malicious wounding. As much as I hate the idea of having to use lethal force, I hate the idea of imprisonment for it much more. Could anyone point me in the direction of useful information on the use of deadly force/justifiable homicide in Virginia? Anything is appreciated.
