I would not try to capture a BG. The police are leery of attempting that without backup. Possible scenarios:
1) Show him the muzzle and snarl "If you want to live you better run." If he refuses your advice open fire. Keep shooting until he falls down.
2) If he is armed don't bother with telling him to hit the road. If you have the element of surprise, maybe you have time to aim well enough for a head shot. If not aim for COM and keep shooting until he falls down.
3) In the gun-at-his feet and your daughter screaming scenario shoot him until he falls down, kick the gun away from him and go to her aid while you reload.
While the only justifiable reason for use of deadly force is to prevent the predator from harming you, it is much better for you if they succumb to their injuries. That way there is only one story- yours. It's your word against that of a corpse with a long rap sheet. ("I just knocked on the door and the SOB shot me when I asked for directions")
Most criminals would rather escape than fight it out with an armed and competent intended victim. Capturing him is for the police. If he disappears in a cloud of heel dust that's a preferable outcome to shooting him. Every predator avoids prey that is likely to injure it. The idea is get what they want and leave unscathed. When the intended prey puts them at risk the cost-benefit equation suddenly shifts.
