Priest shot dead in rectory before suspect's 'horrific' crash derby car chase in small Canadian town ends in hail of bullets

A small Canadian town was terrorized Friday by a crazed gunman who is believed to have shot dead a priest inside a church before going on a rampage before he was gunned down by police. John Quadros, 55, of St Paul, Alberta, was killed by Royal Canadian Mounted Police after he is said by police to have likely killed Father Gilbert Dasna and then going on a high speed chase through the center of town that culminated in a crash derby-like shootout, sources said. Dasna, 32, was shot more than once on the third anniversary of his arrival from Cameroon while inside his rectory, police told the CBC, they do not believe the murder was a random act of violence.

The mayhem began just before 6.00 p.m. as the town of about 5,400 just over 120 miles east of Edmonton was rocked by the sound of gunfire. Officers heard shots just outside their station and ran out in pursuit of a black pickup truck being driven by Quadros. Quadros is said by police to have sped straight for the small town’s central business district and rammed at least one squad car while firing shots at police as he went. The force of the impact was so great that car parts were scattered across at least half a block. ‘I've seen movie scenes not as horrific as this. There's bits of pieces of vehicle all over the street a half a block away,’ Chief Supt. Randy McInnes told the CBC.
