Now if that ain’t true or attacks you, or will not leave, you have a right to defend yourself and shoot the intruder, but if you don’t kill the intruder, you only injure that intruder, but in doing so you stop a crime from being committed, or the criminal from fleeing, The chance of the courts having sympathy on you greatly increases. The first thing you should do after shooting somebody, anybody, is call the police that is dial 911 and ask for law enforcement and an ambulance to get there immediately—as fast as possible. Then call your lawyer. Then tell the cops you were scared for your life and defending yourself and that you will cooperate fully once you have lawyered-the-hell up. Then, shut your pie hole.

And all of that is dependant on which state you reside in.
