In addition to taking the gambling chips, Dela Rosa said, the gunman shot an LED monitor and set furniture on fire. National police chief General Ronald Dela Rosa earlier told DZMM radio that the attacker did not hurt anyone.
He says either the suspect lost in the casino and wanted to get his money back, or went “totally nuts.” The suspect took 113 million pesos ($226,000) worth of gambling chips, which were found in a bag he was carrying.Ībayalde says there was no indication of terrorism. He says the gunman apparently killed himself.
Metropolitan Manila police chief Oscar Albayalde says the English-speaking suspect was found dead with his rifle on the fifth floor of the Resorts World Manila complex. Philippine police say the suspect in the attack on a hotel and casino complex near Manila's airport has been found dead of apparent suicide.
