And therein lies the issue: it's exceedingly difficult to have to make such decisions, far more complex than going "in country," flexing your mission specific training (or that of your son's, if you're that sort of guy) and dealing in scenarios where accident acceptance and the ends justifying the means are already in place.
This Agent was going to be eviscerated, either way.
Given that, trust your training and instincts. As a guess, the only reason the offender remains alive is based in who was in the residence at the time of the breach.
Sum? By dumb luck.
