( CNN ) -- A property dispute between family members apparently led to a shooting in which a man killed two people in the central Virginia town of Louisa before he was shot by police , authorities said . Four others were wounded when the man began shooting outside a home Sunday afternoon , police said . `` This was part of a property dispute , '' Virginia State Police spokeswoman Corinne Geller said Monday . `` Due to a death in the family , there was a dispute over who owns the property , and who has rights to it . '' The shooter , Charles `` Zeke '' Sponaugle Sr. , had been living at the property recently , Geller said . The incident began when deputies responded to a report of an argument at the home , police said . Believing the situation had been resolved , the deputies left the home . But shortly before 5 p.m. , authorities received another call about an active shooting at the residence , said Maj. Donnie Lowe of the Louisa County Sheriff 's Office . When officers arrived , a man was shooting at people in the front yard . Two people were killed and four were wounded , said Sgt . Thomas Molnar of the Virginia State Police . The man then directed his gunfire at police and released a pit bull terrier on them , authorities said . `` Based on evidence at the scene , as soon as deputies arrived they were in an active shooting situation , '' Geller said . She said authorities believe that return fire from deputies killed both the suspect and the dog . No deputies were wounded . `` Since 2000 , deputies have been to this property 23 times , '' Lowe said . `` The calls were pretty much all the same -- family arguments , people not getting along -- nothing really violent , mostly verbal . '' He added , `` You ca n't predict something like this . '' The four wounded people were taken to the University of Virginia Hospital in Charlottesville , Molnar said .
