A masked guy breaks down your door w/o an Article III warrant absent exigent circumstances? Yeah, I'd agree. Trick will be that pressing the murder charge would be federal since a federal agent dies in the line of official work (though illegal), which would give the president grounds to push for death.

Don’t get me wrong, morally you’re almost certainly justified.

It’s just that historically self defense or defense of others claims on killing a law enforcement officer are a huge uphill battle in the courts.

It’s extremely rare for a court to find killing an officer justified.
