From what I’ve personally done and seen from others that have fired various shot loads inside homes/buildings (either training or HD), I am no fan of a shotgun indoors, where there are other unintended targets anywhere in the vicinity. Round, slow velocity lead balls ricochet/deflect off of almost any surface and go in crazy directions (though the bulk will just follow down a wall), while penetrating more than most think logical. I’d rather have pointy (or flat/HP), fast, expanding/frangible, well-aimed projectiles, staying roughly in line with my intended direction of fire. JMO. I’m not saying I won’t use a shotgun, if handy. I just think they’re often overrated and misunderstood, indoors.
