Conflicts are messy, unpredictable. The only way you could expect someone to act measured is if they have a lot of experience with such situations. And even then you never know what the other person wants.

You dont accidentally shoot a guy four times and then have no regrets. The guy here just wanted to kill. Hesistating before you take a persons life isn't especially 'measured', it's just normal human behaviour

If you pull the trigger on someone without intending to kill you're insane. You can't predictably incapacitate without killing with a firearm.

You can fire a warning shot. A thief wants to steal stuff, they dont want to get involved in a life-or-death situation. If there's a clear route out of the house and serious danger inside, they will run.

This all happens in seconds while under stress. Hesitating is normal, freezing is normal, attacking is normal. Depends on the person. You don't get to think and consider, you react on instinct. In this case, the guy shot the intruder until he stopped moving.
