I believe any intentional killing of a person is murder. At least under California law.
If a person were to intentionally kill an intruder, although their actions may very well be found to be justified, he or she will have committed murder.
Memorize this for 911 or your equiv. - "I was in fear for my life. There's been a shooting. Send police and ambulance. The scene is secure." Now hang up and request legal representation when assistance arrives.
