He is holding a weapon of deadly force which I am not about to doubt that he intended to use in order to make his break-in more easy. If I were to shoot this person in the leg, disarm him and wait for the cops to arrive, I would be guaranteed a lawsuit by the crook for everything in my name. If I end this person's life, I have to live with that guilt but at least I would not have to worry about some crook getting a 3 million dollar payout from by bank account, property, etc.
