Bad advice. You don't want that declared policy to show up in a court setting; it could seal your fate. It is also beside the point. Competent gun shooting instruction always advises to shoot and continue shooting until the perpetrator is on the ground. You don't need more than that. You don't actually need him dead; just incapable of any further threat.
Dragging a body inside is another bit of bad advice. You don't think the police can determine this has been done? It would be circumstantial evidence of pre-meditated alteration of the crime scene, another bad courtroom optic. Which would also make your wife an accomplice.
Get clarity on the grounds for lethal defense. One of which is that a known deadline is 10 feet from you---if the perp attempts to rush you (after being warned to stay away and that you are armed), it is a demonstrated fact that, at 10 feet, they can reach you faster than you can react to their rush. That is last ditch personal defense. Defense with a firearm is NOT a contact sport. Distance is your friend.
