I'd have to read it again, but I remember them explaining it like he just kind of came out of the woods, and did it really quick.

It sounded like he shot the cyclist first, while coming out of the woods, then the dad who was able to get into the car. The Iraqi dad was able to get into the car and get it into gear before dying, but the car didn't get far (got stuck or hung up on an obstacle). Then he could have probably killed the two women in the car at close range, while also double-tapping the two men to make sure. The car was still running with tires spinning when discovered.

There was also some discrepancy about the order they were shot. The investigator said that they might never know for sure without finding the shooter.

Unless the older daughter was a reliable witness and could say how it all went down, but I doubt that.
