MANILA- The management of Resorts World Manila vowed to provide assistance to victims of the fatal shooting and fire incident within its premises.

“We’ll be extending all the assistance we can possibly can to the victims and their families,” Stephen Reilly, the casino’s chief operating officer told reporters Friday.

“We appeal for your understanding and consideration. The company mourns with the families,” he added.

Some 37 bodies were found in at least two floors of the casino complex, following an attack by a supposedly lone gunman, who later committed suicide.

Reilly also addressed conflicting reports that there was allegedly more than one suspect responsible for the attack and maintained that there was “only one gunman.”

Earlier, the Philippine National Police ruled out terrorism as the motive behind the shooting rampage of the supposedly lone suspect.

"Hindi ito act of terror. Wala 'yung elemento ng violence, threat, at intimidation that leads to terrorism," PNP chief, Director General Ronald Dela Rosa told reporters.

As of posting time, Resorts World Manila has not yet released the names of victims pending the report of Scene of the Crime Operatives.
