It happened this early Friday morning that several gunshots were heard at the Resorts World Manila. Initial reports stated a masked man fired his gun within the resort-casino premises and set an area on fire. While the turmoil brews, the resort-casino area has been put on lockdown.

definitely 'went nuts' in order to kill yourself via burning!
the one thing I hate is how the media always speculate a terrorist group which could have nothing to do with any anything yet the media just wants to help spread the terror!

Agreed, Robbo. Why not just say that this incident is a mystery? Why would an extremist suicidal attacker try to steal chips? Why would a robber create such chaos with starting fires before trying to rob the place, and why would a robber kill himself by self immolation, rather than by gunshot or suicide by cop?
This really doesn't add up at all. Yes, people were hurt and that's a shame. But nobody died other than the the attacker and until more is knows it's irresponsible to spread fear and speculation.

well this sounds precise: "“The lone gunman is already neutralized. He is dead." cannot be more neutralized than this. quite a shocking attempt at robbery, especially the burning himself act... not the usual- kill whoever moves and then shoot himself...

Another bad incident. From the stories here, ii would go for the one that he lost money and he wanted to get back some or even taking a revenge by setting the place on fire. It must have been quite an incident with 75 injured. Good think that none died.
Of course, any human life is valuable, but if you do not have the intelligence to rob a casino, then maybe you deserve this death? This is of course only my opinion

I was thinking about this story, since I thought there had to be way more going on that was first reported. It just doesn't add up. Whats the update now?
Let me guess, a long history of severe mental illness and gambling addiction?

Of they get more viewers by fabricating as a terrorist attack, you think they wont do it, for as long as they can. Not the same interest for just a maniac, compared to terrorists. And speaking of that they hit again, this time in London.
I read that several people were hurt and some a little bit more serious and that is no good but I would like to say I'm glad that nobody was killed during that robbery. Thanks god.

It seems that these days the violence is almost an everywhere, everyday occurrence in our lives. I wonder if there is any place in the world that is completely free from unwanted disturbance like the one described in the article.
Then he really did kill himself ?? ... I at first did not quite understand the news and thought that he was killed but if he did it himself then it only remains to accept his choice and his crazy act ... he himself is guilty in one word
