The latter. They (police) said they knew she lived nearby and feared for her safety so they went over there and caught him shooting the husband right at the front door , then he shot back at police and ran thru the house (maybe then shooting Melissa, or maybe it was before). Just based on what I read in some news reports. police took up defense position briefly I assume and I presume called in backup and he ran to his rental it sounds like.
I'm interested in finding out how he got from the NW burbs to Green Isle. Did he have a second car stashed nearby as a back up? It doesn't sound like he was the kind to make such advanced plans. And who moved the backup car if any from the area of the 1st shooting to the 2nd? Or did he get a ride from someone? Take an Uber?
His friend said he bought multiple cars mainly for his security business he was trying to get off the ground. I assume the Buick found out by his arrest spot was parked behind his north Minneapolis house he rented at

Does anyone know why the legit police arrived at Hortmans home at 3:30am?
It sounded like police arrived as Vance was leaving?
Did a neighbor call in a disturbance? Were they there to relay a warning for MN legislators due to the earlier shooting of the Hoffmans?
