Depending on the law in your country/state/province.

I would say in my opinion that you would not go to jail if you could prove your did it in self defense.

Also, this depends on what type of weapon you shot the person with. You could get in trouble for a illegal firearm.

That depends greatly on the situation and the laws involved. In most cases committing murder will result in jail time. There are some situations, such as self defense, where jail time may not be a result of the death. Some instances of manslaughter are not punished with jail time, though they could be.

Probably. In most states you are not allowed to injure a person in defense of property, only to protect yourself or another person.
