The gunman who killed at least four people and wounded nine others in a shooting rampage on the Pacific island of Saipan on Friday has been identified as 42-year-old Li Zhongren of China, foreign media reported.

The shooting spree at a popular tourist site claimed the lives of two men, a 4-year-old boy and a 2-year-old girl, all residents of Saipan.

Eight South Korean tourists and a 4-year-old local girl were wounded before the shooter took his own life, the Associated Press quoted local police as saying.
