A six-hour siege of a gunman believed to have fatally shot one man and wounded three others, including two police detectives, ended at a New Jersey campground yesterday afternoon when a cordon of heavily armed officers closed in after hours of silence and found two men and a woman dead inside the suspect’s trailer.
