If you have to shoot someone in your home just make sure you establish 2 things, first that they are dead, and second that you make it clear in the police report that you thought your life was in danger (ie you didn't just shoot them 4 times in the back as they were running away with your TV-that's not going to fly).
Do those 2 things and you should be just fine. You might still find yourself sued for wrongful death, but you have a good chance of winning. The bigger the gun the better, you only want to shoot once. The last thing you want to do is try to explain to the police or a jury why the guy you just killed was shot eight times.
