I agree. It is highly probably the THREE family members were walking or standing very closely together. The fourth victim (stabbed 30 minutes later) was probably BY HIMSELF.

As for the article in post #6, it doesn't state whether he was a Muslim/Jihadist or anything.

I wouldn't bet against it, though.
