Let's ignore shooting anybody.

I don't see why the police can't make an arrest of the criminals. The
rightful occupant calls the police, demonstrates evidence of occupancy
like a key to the lock, showing identification, mail with his own name
on it, utility bills, possibly even finding his own lease. Maybe there
is damage to a door or window.

The criminal claiming to be the rightful tenant has lied. He can be
charged with a crime for lying, for the breaking and entering, and for
criminal trespass.

Make the arrest. It is indeed a criminal matter.
