There's a good chance that a DA might argue that if you had time to call 911 before using deadly force then your life wasn't really in imminent danger and you could've retreated. Depends on your state laws and the circumstances obviously.

Situations that result in deadly shootings aren't going to go by "the plan" anyway.

I’m pretty sure here in Louisiana, any nighttime home invasion is considered justification to believe your life to be in imminent danger. I could be wrong.

Would definitely depend. If you're in a state with Castle Doctrine or something similar, you're more than likely good.

It'd be completely reasonable to call 911 for a break in, and have the outcome be a self-defense shooting. It honestly would likely work in your favor, showing that you weren't necessarily set on taking matters into your own hands, but were forced to when they confronted you.
