\n\tAutopsies on the men who died in a southwest shooting on Monday have confirmed their causes of death, Edmonton police said Wednesday.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe Edmonton Medical Examiner determined that 56-year-old Buta Singh Gill died of gunshot wounds in a homicide and that a 49-year-old man died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the Edmonton Police Service said in a media release.<\/p>\n
\n\tAnother man, a 51-year-old man employed by Gill, was taken to hospital with serious, life-threatening injuries.<\/p>\n
\n\tMultiple sources told CTV News Edmonton on Monday the shooter was a roofer who had done work for Gill’s construction company and fatally shot himself.<\/p>\n
\n\tEPS said in the release no charges will be laid in the case as “the suspect is deceased,” adding that investigators are looking into whether the incident is related to a series of recent extortions targetting home builders from South Asian communities.<\/p>\n
