The little girl was discovered hidden beneath the legs of her dead mother in a BMW in the French Alps, where they had been camping.
Officers said the younger girl had remained undiscovered for eight hours "due to procedure".
The source explained: "The crime scene was kept frozen until forensics experts arrived from Paris during the night.
"This meant that the dead bodies had to remain in the place where they fell. The little girl was well hidden under her mother’s legs, and clearly was in a state of shock."
Eric Maillaud, the Annecy prosecutor, said that when forensic officers began a detailed examination they found the girl who had remained hiding, silently, in terror, for up to eight hours.
Police missed her when they found the car and could not open the bullet-riddled doors over fears ballistic evidence would be destroyed, officers said.
A senior police source said the terrified child had only been found at midnight when witnesses at Le Solitaire du Lac campsite told detectives the family had two children, not one.
Only then did they "break with protocol" and open the doors to find the girl.
An eight-year-old girl was discovered lying on the road in critical condition, while a cyclist, who had also suffered gunshot wounds, was also found dead close by.
Detectives found 15 spent bullet casings from an automatic gun at the scene of the killing.
