Make sure that you identify yourself, do not approach them, and keep your gun aimed away from them.
From the September 18, 2008 Tucson Citizen:
PHOENIX - Phoenix police say one of their officers shot and wounded a man who had been holding a burglar at gunpoint inside his home.I can see how the police may have been confused about who was the burglar. Under the circumstances, a mistake like this is easy to make.
...
Arriving officers found a screaming woman who had fled the last home with two children while her mate confronted the intruder.
Thompson says officers went inside, ordered everyone out and saw the armed resident coming down a hallway. One officer shot the 35-year-old man several times, but he's expected to survive.
Officers then detained the intruder.
