I second Ayoob's books: "In the Gravest Extreme" and "The Truth About Self Protection." Also "The Law of Self Defense" by Andrew Branca.
In that situation, I would:
1) get my gun.
2) call 911.
3) get into a position covering the door and yell through the door that "The police are on the way. I am armed. Do not come through the door. If you come through the door, I will shoot." While saying this, I would have the cordless phone next to me, so that the police dispatcher could hear me warning him.
If he makes a "violent and tumultuous" entry after I have already warned him, then I would reasonably expect my life to be in danger and would fire.
YMMV, IANAL, and this isn't legal advice.
