A fugitive lured police officers to him before shooting them repeatedly and then throwing a grenade at his victims, a court has heard.
Dale Cregan, 29, had evaded a nationwide manhunt when he set the trap, Preston Crown Court heard.
Mr Cregan denies killing PCs Nicola Hughes, 23, and Fiona Bone, 32, in Hattersley, Greater Manchester last September.
He also denies the murders of David Short, 46, and his son, Mark, 23.

"As he left the scene he again threw a grenade towards the victims."
'Son died in his arms'
At the time the officers were killed, Mr Cregan was on the run and a suspect in the shooting of Mark Short and his father David Short.
The court heard the pair had been targeted after Mr Cregan was recruited with his friend, and fellow accused, Leon Atkinson - whose family had a long-running feud with the Short family.
Mr Clarke told the jury that Mark Short was shot at the Cotton Tree pub in Droylsden, Manchester, on May 25 last year
"At the time that his son Mark was shot, David Short, the head of the Short family, was using the toilet," said Mr Clarke.
Dale Cregan in the dock - Julia Quenzler Dale Cregan was on the run when he is said to have attacked the police officers
"Otherwise he himself would have been a target. His son died in his arms."
On the morning of 10 August, David Short was at home in nearby Clayton when his killers came calling.
"He was chased through the house and shot many times," said Mr Clarke.
"He tried to run around the side of the house to escape. His injuries were already un-survivable and then a grenade was thrown on to him.
"Its explosion had devastating consequences for his torso.
"It is the first time in this country that a military grenade has been deployed in this way."
The catalyst for these attacks was a row on 13 May in the Gardeners Arms pub between Theresa Atkinson - dubbed "the matriarch of the Atkinson family" - and Raymond Young, a member of the Short family.
Mr Clarke said: "Theresa Atkinson was drunk and lashed out with a bottle, striking Young.
"It led to Raymond Young backhanding Theresa Atkinson."
She responded by shouting: "I'm going to get you done by my sons."
