The gunman was identified as Steve Kim, a naturalized U.S. citizen working at a U.S. post office in Des Plaines, Ill. FBI spokesman Jim Margolin said Kim was born in 1945 and that agents were trying to con Finn he was bom in Korea. The shooting occurred at 1:10 p.m. as the Security Council was meeting on Iraq and Secretary-General Kofi Annan was holding talks with the Cypriot leaders in his office on the 38th floor. U.S. Secret Service agents protecting visiting Cyprus President Glafcos Clerides apprehended Kim in the com pound just outside the building. "The first people to reach this individual were U.S. secret service personnel,” U.N. securi ty chief Michael McCann said. The agents were assisted moments later by members of a State Department protective detail also on site as well as U.N. security. Margolin, of the FBI. said Kim was expected to be arraigned in federal court in Manhattan for violation of the protection of for eign officials act although specif ic charges have yet to be deter mined. The protect act is a feder al law that establishes protections for visiting dignitaries. The shots, fired from a Smith & Wesson pistol, hit a women’s restroom on the 18th and an American Express office on the 20th floor of the U.N. Secretariat building.
