house in some jurisdictions, in others, they wont. Either way, the entire chain of events will be gone over carefully by detectives and or the DA. Most likely, if you have half a brain, you will be able to show that this person was in your home, in the dark, you were frightened and in fear for your life and you struck out with whatever you have on hand, which in practically every state will mean you are innocent by reason of self defense. In most jurisdictions this does not even mean an arrest unless you have a DA who wants to make a name, or a judge who wants to be Governor or some such.
As for your specific question, most of the time if you call for EMT's to remove an assault victim, you will see police officers first, and they will process you as they see the facts.
Does that help?
But, God help you if the detectives or DA find that there is some kind of connection between you and the "intruder" and especially if it is some kind of shady connection like drinking/drugging buddies, high school rivals, ex-business partners, married to the same woman or sharing a common girl friend. Then stand by to see bars.
