At least four people were shot dead and six South Korean visitors wounded when a gunman fired into a crowd of tourists on the resort island of Saipan, South Korea's foreign ministry said on Friday.

The gunman appeared to have taken his own life after the shooting spree, a ministry official said, adding that there were no further details immediately available.

Saipan is the largest island in the US Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands in the West Pacific with a population of about 62,000.
