And he said this in his interview and saw police there at the house and kept going and didn't stop. And obviously the plan there was for him to drive back to the house because he thought he must have thought about it overnight, written this note that explains it as a murder-suicide and was going to drop it off. But unfortunately for him, the police were already there.

We know from the phone records when his phone was plugged into his car, when he unplugged his phone from the car, and that he took 67 steps from the car to the kitchen.

The second shot was fired in the back of his head.
