If you tell him to drop the weapon and he doesn't do so, then he's a threat. I'd shoot him, perhaps
not to kill, but to be sure he can't get to me with the weapon.

Always shoot to kill. There is no other valid reason to shoot
someone, and it's always better to have your undisputed version on the
record. Your potential for future liability is lower also. Warning
shots are considered a crime just about everywhere, shooting and
missing, not so much.
