BINGHAMTON, N.Y. — A rambling letter from the gunman who killed 13 people at an immigrant community center offers a glimpse inside the mind of an angry, paranoid man who saw himself as a victim and was intent on destroying other lives before he took his own, analysts say.

It's hard to say, though, whether friends or relatives would have noticed the demons that tormented 41-year-old Jiverly Wong leading up to Friday's massacre at the American Civic Association.

Police have speculated that Wong, who was ethnically Chinese but was from Vietnam, was angry over losing a job and frustrated about his poor English-language skills.
