But greg the state of Indiana has a stand your ground law. You dont have to retreat.
If I have time to call 911 first, I'm calling 911 first and putting the phone down next to me. Screw that "stay on the line" crap. They can listen if they want, but I'm not going to sit there and let them distract me from the task at hand.
That way I'll have a recording of what (if anything) happens. Or ... THEY'LL have a recording.

my gun safe is in my bedroom. my plan of action in a break in is grab shotgun and wait for the door to be kicked open and let em have it. everything of REAL value is in that room. down stairs there are a couple of tv's that would be hard to move by yourself. my cell phone is always on the night stand, if there is time to call 911, i will, if not, well, they will get a clean up call.
Every potential situation will be different and your actions will be split second decisions....
I know this, NO ONE is getting down the hallway to my kids bedroom or mine. If I have time to grab a phone, fine, but is IS NOT the first thing filling my hand.
No, but it's more tactically sound to retreat to a proper vantage point. Usually you'd want to get down the back-end of a hallway so that your field of fire is directly straight down.
I mean... what would you do?
