I believe that calling the cops, and the bad guy getting away, is just the ticket to convincing him that he can do it as often as he wants, with little chance of consequences.
If he's breaking into my home, yes I'd shoot him.
The post that was quoted here has been removedDon't be any more of an idiot than you already have shown yourself to be. NO, I don't volunteer to be a shooting dummie. I also would not depend on a one shot stop, in a case of self defense.
My process, if I were to catch a burglar in the act, would be to hold him, hogtie him, and call police. If he were to resist physically, then he would be shot. If he were to flee, these days, I wouldn't bother trying to chase.
What would you do? Beg that he not rape you?

yeh, thousands don't die from gun shot wounds, they die from lack of medical care.

yeh, best to shoot him. if he dies, that will teach him. if he doesn't, it will teach him to also bring a gun next time he burglarizes.

Praising him for shooting him what, 4 times? Of course the guy was a perp but that is way overboard. One time in the knee like he said and the perp is going nowhere.

But why is there a debate about this, no the perp was not in the house but yes, he was still on their property AND carrying property not his.
I recall one of my Irish teachers telling us that in Ireland someone expected to get burgled, so he took up some of the boards in the stairs. A burglar came in, fell through the stairs and broke his leg. The burglar sued the house owner for having dangerous stars.
Some countries do not have anti-trespass laws and so if you haven't stolen anything, and didn't break anything to get in, you aren't even breaking the law.
