1. Just stand there (maybe they don't understand English - not uncommon here).
|
¡No mueva!
¡manos arriba!
¡En el suelo, ahora!
(Don't move!) (Show me your hands!) (Get on the ground now!)
Or simply get right to the point:
¡No mueva, hombre muerto!

2. They turn their back on you and walk towards the door and say - Man, I'm leaving - Don't shoot me - bro (dude, amigo).

Continue to aim COM and track his movements. If possible to safely change your position quietly, do so. This way if he turns to attack, you're not where he expects you to be.
Otherwise let him leave. Remain alert, eyeball his departure if you can (relay to PD). Secure the house.

3. They walk towards you with a big smile and hands up.

Boom! Boom!
The above is my reaction because distances in my house will be no more than about 18 ft. If he's just inside the door and I'm at the end of the hallway nearest, it's only 10-ft. He moves towards me while he's illegally in my home AND I'm pointing a gun at him, he's going to get seriously hurt.
In a larger setting - over about 20-ft:
"Don't Move!" (alternately:
¡Alto!
¡No mueva!")
[continues advance]
Boom! (lather, rinse, repeat)
