Did Zod kill the family at the end?

They never show the family survived, never showed them dead. On one hand, Supes could have finally killed Zod because he had to to save the family, and his rage scream was because he had to kill the last of his own kind; on the other hand, Supes killed him because Zod killed the family and he knew he had to kill Zod because he knew Zod would never stop, and his rage scream was both because he had to kill Zod, but also out of grief for the family.

Spoiler!

The family survived. I'm positive they showed a quick shot of them after Zod's heat vision stopped, all with a WTF look on their faces. It was brief, but I'm pretty sure how it happened. The scream, imo, was as you said - for killing the last Kryptonian left (other than him, of course), and for actually taking a life after repressing his anger for so many years.
