Is it illegal to kill a burglar?

Ok I'm really terrified right now. Summer brings two aspects with it that I hate; 1. Allergies. 2. Burglars.
Normally the burglars just steal stuff, but two days ago a girl was raped by a burglar in her own bedroom just a few blocks away from my home!

If I keep a knife in my nightstand and kill the burglar if he's in my room, would that be illegal or self-defense?

if they is threating you or attacking you it's legal but anything else I'm not sure. It might be safer to call the cops if you are not in imetiate danger

Self-defense, but you do want to check on the peculiarities of your country's laws. In the US, it's not been unheard of for burglars to sue the homeowners (and win!) for injuries suffered. I'm not kidding.

Unless you killed out of self defense, chances are you might be charged with murder.
It may also depend on what state you live in what kind of punishment you get.
