Obviously a brick wall, not dry wall with wood frames would be ideal.
Okay then, you stand behind the wall and I'll squeeze off a few shots so we can test your theory.

Do you put masking tape on your windows for a hurricane too?

My whole point was if you got the guy in your sights with a shotgun, there is plenty of time to say freeze. Simple.

And that, I agree with. I might not even say freeze if I have a clear identity. Just make him a foot shorter or so.
