Moving the bodies with out necessity or reason is tampering with a crime scene, not calling the authorities as soon as safely possible doesn't do the guy any favors either. The "finishing shot" on the girl makes my stomach cringe like any normal person would.
But the "wanting him dead" for the first intruder, doesn't bother me as much. Still another person in the house, he's probably still fearing his safety and he doesn't want to worry about this guy shot in the leg or hips getting back up and getting back in the fight.

Smith said he dragged Brady's body into his basement workshop, then sat back down on his chair, and after a few minutes Kifer began coming down the stairs. He said he shot her as soon as her hips appeared, and she fell down the steps.

According to his own testimony, I'd say he had enough time to secure the first intruder before the second one made an appearance.
