From what I can tell from numerous news accounts, a tresspasser opened
fire without warning on a hunting party when they told him he had to
leave. When their buddies came to investigate, he shot them too.

It's pretty obvious that the hunters didn't return fire because they
would have had longer-ranged and more accurate rifles. If the hunters
had started it, or if they had returned fire, the tresspasser would be
dead and at most 1 or 2 of the hunters would have been shot.
