"DALLAS, NC - Gaston County police are calling the deaths of four people a murder-suicide. Authorities found the victims inside a Dallas home on Dean Drive Friday evening."Detectives say 25-year-old Austen Black Minter shot and killed his pregnant girlfriend 24-year-old Tracy Lee Hedgepath and their two young children before turning the gun on himself.
"Also, officers found a surviving female child with life-threatening injuries. She was transported to Gaston Memorial Hospital, then on to Carolinas Medical Center for additional treatment.
"While community residents claim the family was always friendly and pleasant, Gaston police indicate they have responded to previous incidents at this same address, and that a domestic dispute sparked the deadly shooting.
"`I wouldn't expect nothing like this in a small town, especially in this small neighborhood,` said neighbor Harley Satterfield.
"The investigation is ongoing. There is no word on the surviving girl's condition."
