Call 911 and tell the dispatcher someone has broken into your home and they are shot. Tell the dispatcher you have a weapon. When the police arrive before they approach you place the weapon in a visable area away from your person. Put your hands in the air palms towards them, be prepared to be atleast handcuffed don't resist and don't talk smart to them. Be polite and cooperative. Weather or not you are charged will depend on the circumstances. If the subject was running from you and you shot him in the back as he made it for the door. Be ready to go to jail.
