Yeah that part bothered me too. He shot the wife first, but had time to turn her around and say "I love you," and pull up the gun. Let's assume that even if he was able to kill her, he would be down in seconds, not have time to turn and shoot his kids.
Generally speaking the police were some of the worst I've seen in movies. Like, arresting Dr. Tyler with 4 witnesses and a live victim who all presumably tell the same story. Or placing her on house arrest and not letting her leave the house without things like...a trial...or a reason to keep her on house arrest...And taking her son away, even though there was an officer who can say no one entered of left the house and saw the spaceship. While that may be hard to believe for most people, you have several credible sources who tell similar stories. Including one of your officers.
But the worst was letting her continue to practice even though she was under a psychologist's care and believed her husband was murdered when people know he committed suicide, including her son.
It was an interesting concept, but they went to such lengths to try to convince the audience it was real but really dropped the ball on some of the realism. Shockingly not on the alien part...
