To add a bit to my post above.
Keep it simple as HHI944 states.
Call 911 if possible. Address and intruder in the house.
Put phone down and protect your family, yourself. Hopefully from a pre-arranged spot.
All other stuff to say on phone is nice but, there are more pressing concerns that require 100% attention.
Protect your family and yourself, not your stuff. Lawful in PA to protect stuff, but IMO, not my priority. Also don't need to warn intruder(gives away position) or to let them know you're armed.
Certainly no warning shot!
If you must shoot, shoot center mass.
Shoot until empty, reload. Keep your eyes on the intruder, even if he appears to not be moving.
Approach defensively to remove his weapon from reach.
Not a smart idea to shoot to wound like the reporters always think anyone should do.
Wait for police.
Scream as soon as you hear them, describe where you are and what you are wearing. Tell them you put gun down and your hands are up.
Hopefully the phone is still on.
