Your life will forever change. Deadly force is a last resort. You will likely need an attorney - there is no do over.I live in GA what if someone breaks into my house and I kill them what happens next
Call 911 and tell them someone broke into your house and you had to defend your life. But Like said above check your state's laws, If you know you're in a high crime area or close to one you should get a home security system. Get a shot gun with a less than lethal round in the chamber as the first shot. Killing someone in your home or anywhere is taken as a crime scene, you will likely have to goto a hotel for a few days. Plus you will be question by the detectives as the dead guy can't give his side of the story. Shooting someone 16 times the courts will look at you intentionally tried to kill the intruder.

What happens next is that your life will forever change. Even if you have done everything right, your savings, future earnings, and very freedom may be at risk.
Lethal force ought be the very last consideration - you can't call back the bullet once you have pulled the trigger.
There are full seminars on this subject, so don't look for a simple one-size-fits-all answer.
I will take my chances with a jury. (Criminal and Civil) As opposed to taking a chance that some criminal is going to break into my home and possibly LET ME LIVE.
If your not going to use that pistol to defend your family and yourself from an intruder then by golly get rid of the pistol.

Well, if I shot at him once, I think that any court would look at me and think I tried to kill the intruder.<snip> Shooting someone 16 times the courts will look at you intentionally tried to kill the intruder.
