All you should do if the burglar is unarmed is detain him.  If "detention" 
involves some negative feedback such as assorted broken bones and facial 
injuries, so be it. If it's too late and you already shot the guy, it would be 
good if you had a sterile throw-down weapon to put in his hand. 
 
By "sterile" I mean free of any traces of you or your premises: no 
fingerprints, dust, oil, fibers, etc.; and stored in a plastic bag until 
needed.

I don't condone unjustified shootings but hey, nobody forced the guy to break 
into your house.

If you are prepared to shoot someone who breaks into your house to protect 
your physical well-being, you should be equally prepared to protect yourself 
from our defective legal system.
