Assuming it falls under normal self defense, and I don't see why it wouldn't, there's probably provisions that say you can't just start shooting holes in your floor if you hear someone walking around downstairs.  Unless Indiana has some kind of Stand Your Ground thing going on I'd imagine you need to be able to prove you were in danger to justify your actions.

Actually had a case like that in Texas recently.  A guy heard some people trying to break through his fence (so the story goes), and he fired a warning shot into the ground.  When the police responded to his 911 call, they arrested him for Improper Discharge of a Firearm, because the possible intruders weren't at least fifteen feet inside the property line.  I believe that was a municipal law.
