The truth is a homeowner with a firearm is more likely to shoot someone they know by accident than shoot an intruder.

What he should have done was armed himself, locked the bedroom door, and called the police. Confronting an intruder in your house should be the very last option, no matter if you have a firearm or not.
Of course... Someone is in your house where your family is and you just call the police and wait. That makes sense. Otherwise, what's the worst that could happen to your wife and children when the intruder realizes everyone is stirring around? It's not like they are usually armed and dangerous or anything.
