  • Lone Gunman Sets Fire to Resorts World Manila, Killing 35
    Lone Gunman Sets Fire to Resorts World Manila, Killing 35 2ND JUN 2017 | WRITT EN BY: MARTIN JOHN WILLIAMS At least 35 patrons and staff have died at Resorts World Manila after an armed bandit entered the property at midnight last night, triggering panic and fears of a terrorist attack. Most of the dead succumbed to smoke inhalation after the man set fire to gaming tables and carpets in the property. Resorts World Manila remains closed to the public today as bodies are removed and the authorities investigate the attack, in which 54 people were injured as they attempted to flee, including some who jumped from the property’s second floor, police and witnesses said. The gunman later killed himself by setting himself on fire and shooting himself in a hotel room, police said, noting that he did not shoot anyone during the emergency. Resorts World Manila chief operating officer Stephen Reilly told reporters that property security officers decided not to engage the gunman to avoid escalation. “We had an armed intruder who entered into the property. He fired his firearm, he was in combat attire," Reilly said. “They did not engage, because it was seen that that would escalate the situation,” he said. “Unfortunately, the situation did escalate a bit further moving towards gaming areas.” Police and the Office of the President said that the attack was not terror-related and unrelated to an insurgent assault led by pro-ISIS rebels in the city of Marawi in southern Mindanao, where martial law is in effect. “This case is isolated and has nothing to do with any terror act that could possibly be a reason for a declaration of martial law,” National Capital Region Police Office director Oscar Albayalde told ABS-CBN cable news.
