SAIPAN, Northern Mariana Islands (AP) - Officials say a gunman opened fire on the Pacific resort island of Saipan, killing four people before fatally shooting himself.
Public Safety spokesman Jason Tarkong says among those killed in Friday's rampage are a 4-year-old boy and a 2-year-old girl.
At least five people were wounded.
Tarkong says the shooter is a contract worker in his 30s or 40s from Asia.
Officials say the shootings occurred in two different areas of the island, starting with a popular tourist spot where the gunman fired a barrage of bullets from his van at visitors from South Korea. A 39-year-old man was critically injured.
The suspect then drove to a shooting range where he killed two men and the two children.
