From what I read, you handled the situation fantastically. If you can hold your head up knowing that you did what needed to be done and got your family home safely, then I have no suggestions or critiques. Anyone can second guess your actions, but in the end it was you and your family on the line. Stay safe out there.
Basic Gun Safety by Jeff Cooper:
1) All guns are always loaded
2) Never let the muzzle cover anything you aren't willing to destroy
3) Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target
4) Be sure of your target and what is beyond it
