Sgt. Woods said the victims were unloading their car after going shopping and were walking to their residence when they were cut down for no apparent reason. After shooting the mother and daughter, the shooter allegedly shot at daughter's father, but missed, and fled eastbound [toward LB Blvd.] Woods said.
Sgt. Woods added that there's insufficient evidence to indicate what took place was an ambush directed at the specific victims, but he indicated they were shot at close range.
