SAIPAN, Northern Mariana Islands -- The Pacific resort island of Saipan was reeling today from one of the most violent attacks in its history, when a gunman killed five people, including two small children and himself, in a rampage that ended at a World War II historical site.
The violence claimed the lives of two men, a 4-year-old boy and a 2-year-old girl, all residents of the U.S. commonwealth, authorities said. The suspected shooter was said to be a contract worker in his 30s or 40s from Asia, but his name and home country were not disclosed. Media reports said that he left behind a suicide note that spoke of a business deal gone bad.
