But details of a new ballistics report leaked to Le Parisien newspaper on Friday suggest that French cyclist Sylvain Mollier, a 45-year-old nuclear industry worker, was the primary target.
He was hit by the first stream of bullets before the ‘frenzied’ gunman turned his attention on Mr Al-Hilli, who had parked the family BMW in a layby close to the village of Chevaline.
Eric Maillaud, the prosecutor in nearby Annecy who is leading the investigation, confirmed that Mr Al-Hilli had got out of the car with Zainab, while denying that any conclusions had been drawn from the ballistics report. ...
Sand and gravel was, for example, found on the soles of Mr Al Hilli’s shoes - proving that he had been outside the car.
He then got back into the driver’s seat, locked the doors, and tried to get away - but in his panic put the BMW into reverse and became stuck in a muddy bank.
This allowed the gunman to fire bullets into the heads of all the seated adults, before returning to finish Mr Mollier off.

Thanks.
I am unclear how they are able to deduce who was shot first.
