patentnononsense is right. Here in Ohio, commission of a felony on your property is not enough. You must establish that you were in fear of imminent serious physical harm or death before the law allows you to pull the trigger.
As an aside, Ohio law doesn't have anything concerning "shoot to kill" vs "shoot to maim", whatever that may be. Deadly force is deadly force, and a gunshot is deadly force. The outcome of the shot only makes a difference if you weren't justified in the first place.
