She had a gun and therefore the advantage, the logical thing to do would have been to either disintergrate his kneecaps or wait til the last possible moment before firing. There's acres more of things she could have done, including what was suggested to her by the operator.
who thinks like that in that sort of situation? unless you're trained in such instances, you would just target the largest piece of body mass you could see on the intruder and fire. she had the bravery not to fire before he entered, she seemed to only pull that trigger at the last moment.

and like OANST said, running could cause you to panic, even if its to temporary safety like the room suggested. even then if the police didn't arrive by the time he managed to break into the room, she would be cornered. each situation is different from others, so sometimes these protocols the operators on the phone tell the victim to do aren't always the best, as they are limited to their advantage.
