I would agree right up till they realize their kin's murderers are there and they get hostile. The spell doesn't only detect hostile intent at its borders. It covers the entire area so when hostile intent is generated within its area of effect it goes off. What it doesn't do is choose whose hostile intent, enemy or companion.

Orcs crossing into the area suddenly see your friends and decide to kill them....alarm goes off.

Friend resting within area of effect sees a figure moving in the darkness and decides to shoot it with his bow.....alarm goes off.

The only triggers are being within the area of effect and having hostile intent.
