What happened to the shooting and arson of 37 people in a Philippine hotel?

It is reported that in the early morning of June 2, local time, a shooting and fire incident occurred at Genting World Hotel in Manila, Philippines, killing at least 37 people and injuring more than 70 people. Five hours after the police searched, they found the gunman set himself on fire in the hotel room of the resort. The authorities said that the murderer's motive was robbery and did not involve terrorist attacks, but the extremist organization "Islamic State" issued a statement claiming responsibility.

The Philippine police said that according to the surveillance video, after the gunman drove to the resort, he ignored the inquiries of the security guards, forcibly entered the casino, robbed the chips with a total value of1.1.300 million pesos, shot at the TV screen in the venue with a rifle, and poured gasoline on the gambling table to set fire. As the fire spread to the flammable carpet, a lot of smoke came out, and the scene was full of smoke and chaos, and the murderers fled in confusion.

After the fire was put out, the authorities found many bodies in casinos and other places, all of which died of suffocation, and the injured were taken to hospital for treatment. The police later found the gunman dead in a bed in a hotel room connected to the casino. It is believed that he was doused with gasoline, covered with a blanket and set himself on fire. The body was burned beyond recognition, leaving only a rifle and a pistol.

The police also found a bag containing potato chips in the toilet of the hotel room. According to the authorities, the murderer was an English-speaking white man with a beard on his face and no identity documents. The police also said that they were looking for a Filipino believed to be involved in the case.

The Philippine police said that if it was a terrorist attack, the gunmen would kill the people in the casino and pointed out that the "Islamic State" attempted to promote it. However, the "Islamic State" later admitted that it did.

Some security experts pointed out that lax security and poor crowd control in resorts are the main reasons for many deaths and injuries. The murderer walked from the parking place to the casino with gasoline and a pike, but no one stopped him.

Rory, the director of the operation of the resort, said that the security guard outside the casino shot and killed the murderer and delayed the other party's action. He also said that the fire prevention system in the casino was working normally, but many people were trapped because of despair.

What's going on here? Terrorist incidents have occurred one after another, and the victims are ordinary people. I hope the government will strengthen relevant measures to ensure the safety of the people.
