"This historic moment comes at a time of great uncertainty for many Americans. We have now been through nearly a decade of war. We have endured a long and painful recession. And sometimes in the midst of these storms, the future that we are trying to build for our nation - a future of lasting peace and long-term prosperity - may seem beyond our reach"
Barack Obama
US President Obama was making a national address Tuesday to mark the end of the combat mission in Iraq

A gunman shot dead four people, including his wife, in an Arizona community of the US early Sunday, authorities said.

According to a police report, the gunman entered a home in Lake Havasu City of Arizona and started shooting people inside, Xinhua said.

The attacker fled with two of his children in a truck after the shooting, the report said.

Those killed were the children's mother and three others. Two survived in the shooting, police said.

The gunman had been fighting with his wife over custody of their young children, police said, adding the suspect was found dead later Sunday in California of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said.

Police identified the alleged gunman as Brian Diez, 26.
