caption_attribution_description: English: Mall and casino
context_page_description: On 2 June 2017, dozens of people at the Resorts World Manila entertainment complex in Pasay, Metro Manila, Philippines were killed or injured when a gunman caused a stampede and set fire to casino tables and slot machine chairs around midnight. The gunman moved to a storage area to steal casino chips from the venue, but later committed suicide following a confrontation with the responding police. All of the attack's deaths and injuries resulted from the initial stampede and smoke inhalation from the fire.
  While initial suspicions strongly pointed towards a terrorist attack, with affiliates of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant claiming responsibility, representatives of the Philippine National Police consistently maintained that the motive was likely robbery. Evidence eventually confirmed that the attack was financially motivated, and was committed by Jessie Javier Carlos, a debt-ridden former civil servant.
