Shayne Riggleman, 22, of Morgantown, West Virginia, also ran over a woman before shooting and wounding a seventh victim.
He shot himself dead after the multiple slaying, in which he also killed an unborn baby, as he sat in a car in Kentucky following a police chase.
Three of the five victims in Morgantown on Monday night were Charles Richardson III, 49, his wife Karin Richardson, 50, and Robert Raber Jr, 30.
The fourth and fifth victims were the Richardson couple’s two children - Katrina Hudson, 22, who was six months pregnant, and Kevin Hudson, 17.
Two bodies were found by police in the kitchen, two in the bathroom and one in the living room.
He then went to visit a friend in Fairchance, Pennsylvania, who ended up tipping off police.
Riggleman later ran over a woman after leaving. She is in a critical condition and was named by the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review as 60-year-old Sidney Lee Bush.
He then drove on to Kentucky, but stopped at an Exxon station in Roane County, West Virginia.
There he shot pump attendant Donald Nichols in the neck - and he was also left in a critical condition, but police said he is expected to recover.
Riggleman was later pulled over police in Lewis County, Kentucky, and shot and killed himself, reported the West Virginia Metro News.
Police found two rifles and a .22-calibre handgun in the car. They believe the killing spree would have continued if he had not been pulled over.
Other Facebook posts made recently by Riggleman included: ‘Revenge is a dish best served cold and God is the chef’.
Riggleman's friends have been posting tribute messages on his Facebook page and set up a group to remember him.
