If someone "breaks into" your home, my guess is they aren't there to critique your choices in counter-tops and wallpaper.
Shoot them to the ground, check for additional hostiles, reload, check yourself for wounds (family as well), and ensure you are out of danger before lowering your guard to call 911. If you or your family are hurt, treat them or you first and exclusively.
If your family is home when this happens, have one of them call 911, your adrenalin dump is going to make you a worse caller than someone else who was not involved.
It is dark to contemplate, but this is an essential truth for you to consider; how many stories are going to be told when the cops get there? Yours and your family's .....OR.... yours, your family's and the guy they are loading onto the ambulance? I promise it is going to go far better for you if you are the only one telling the story of what happened....
....because inevitably the burglar will attempt in front of a jury to turn himself into a lost wayward seminary student just on his way to bible study when you ruthlessly and viciously shot him in your living room in the dark of night.
With good shot placement (in the snot locker preferably) and adequate ammunition and training; you will survive and prevail.
