EDMONTON – An investigation has concluded that a suspect who exchanged gunfire with RCMP officers in the small Alberta town of St. Paul earlier this month killed himself.

The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team says police did nothing wrong in the death of John Quadros and no criminal charges are warranted.

Three Mounties were injured in the incident May 9.

The RCMP have since said that they believe Quadros also shot and killed a Catholic priest in the church rectory earlier that night.
