What if he tried to run in a non-threatening way? What was her plan I wonder?

What if he tried to run in a non-threatening way? What was her plan I wonder?
Once he committed the violent felony of breaking into a home...particularly a home occupied by a single woman who has already called 911 for help...she wouldnt have had to "prove" anything and the law as well as public opinion would be 100% on her side if she had made the decision to pull the trigger. His life was forfeit the moment she drew down on him and he knew it. He is alive only because she chose to allow him to live.I applaud her, all went well. Just wondering if a command of( GET OUT!), might be safer than, (STAY STILL, GET DOWN ON THE GROUND!)? On the ground sweating it out the punk has time to think, might get twitchy, etc., she might of had to shoot and go through the legal nightmare of explaining how her life was in danger not to mention a bloody mess in her house.
Don't get me wrong, I feel she would of been justified had he moved out of position or reached in his pocket etc., just thinking GET OUT! would have been easier.
Every situation is different, I would want to eliminate the threat as quick as possible. If he's near an exit and I can see he appears unarmed, he might get a command to get out.
The only problem with that is he could, if carrying a gun, take cover and try and shoot you for your kindness!
He might be a career criminal that can't afford witnesses. She probably did everything her instructors taught her to do and I guess if he never listened to her 1st command she would have to make a quick judgment on if he was trying to escape or do her harm.
I'd be curious if her instructors teach shoot or try to "hold at gunpoint till cops arrive" as the only options she has?
Anybody here been through the Oregon Firearms Academy Course she went through?
