Resorts World Manila: At least 34 bodies found at casino complex

2 June 2017 Asia

Philippine authorities say at least 34 bodies have been found in a casino and hotel complex in Manila, following a shooting incident by a lone gunman.

Most of the dead appear to have suffocated from thick smoke after the man set fire to casino tables, sources local told news outlet ABS-CBN.

The gunman began shooting at TV monitors in Resorts World Manila in the early hours of Friday morning.

Police said he later killed himself by setting himself on fire.

The incident sparked a security lockdown. Authorities initially said there were no casualties, but appear to have only just found the bodies while sweeping the complex in the last few hours.
