The best person to answer this question would be a local criminal defense attorney, because there are many factors in play. First, penalties vary from state to state. Second, penalties vary in some states depending upon whether the structure broken into was a home or a commercial place. Whether or not the target assault would be classified as a felony could also impact the charges. And finally, even knowing all of that would only provide a range of sentencing, and where a particular case might fall within that range would depend on another set of factors, including prior criminal history, victim impact statement, and even the prosecutor and judge involved.
