A family member of the victims said the couple's son Arlo, nine, who was also on the camping trip, has survived.
"This was a completely random act," Mr Morehouse said.
"This was just an individual who decided that morning to pick a tent and walk into it and execute the mission of what he wanted to do."Cedar Falls mayor Rob Green, who said he is a neighbour of the Schmidts, posted on Facebook on Friday that the couple's nine-year-old son, Arlo,"survived the attack, and is safe."
The post did not say whether Arlo was in the tent or even at the campsite when the shootings happened, and the mayor said he didn't have those details. Mr Morehouse confirmed Arlo was on the family's camping trip, but said he did not know exactly where the boy was at the time of the shooting or know specifics about how it unfolded."As far as I know, he was uninjured physically."
The killings prompted the evacuation of the park and camp ground, including a children's summer camp.Officials did not say if he had a firearms permit, and provided no information about the gun used to kill the Schmidts.
