Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.
I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.
Do not report crimes here. Nothing here should be considered legal advice. All opinions are my own.
In a nutshell, the injured intruders would be transported to the hospital under police guard. When released, they would be arrested and transported to jail pending trial.
The homeowners would be interviewed on scene but not arrested or charged with any crime based on the facts provided.
If the intruders were killed, pretty much the same as above, but the deputies would be in the house a lot longer and the M.E. would respond and take custody of the corpses.
There are a lot of minute details that go into any investigation, especially major felony cases like this, but that is the quick and dirty.

I don't know if there is a law in any of the states specifying what happens to a fallen officer's badge. Typically, this is covered in the department's standard operating procedures. Most departments provide the badge to the next of kin.

Homicide investigators attend specialized training in investigations techniques, interviewing techniques and specialized classes on just death investigations. They also have a great deal of experience as a street cop and general investigator prior to being promoted to homicides. Once in homicides, a new investigator will be paired with a more experienced detective who will guide the on-the-job training.

Not necessarily. Psychological screenings and polygraph examinations are standard portions of the hiring process, so be honest about things and things should work out.

Yes.
At the very least it would appear that he is trespassing. But, do you know that he doesn't have something worse planned? Rape, robbery, murder?
Door to door salesmen are certainly capable of committing very bad crimes. Additionally, criminals can pose as door to door salesmen with the intent of getting in your house to rape/rob/murder you.
A stranger in your home that is refusing to leave is a serious concern and possibly a very real threat. Make sure you communicate to the dispatchers that the man is a stranger - not a friend or family member - and he is refusing to leave. If you have any level of fear, make sure you communicate that as well.
