Based on his story he neither ran away or hid under the bed. Another element of this situation that is uncommon is it took place in a completely separate house which was not occupied and depending on the laws of the state might work against the owner. What he should have done was went and flipped the main breaker to the house power off providing it would have been in a safe place to access and he could have quickly left safely, returned to his main occupied house, locked the doors, armed himself and while waiting for the police to arrive kept a non-stop overwatch on the unoccupied house. Pretty basic tactics - cover and concealment until the 'troops' arrive.
