The gun killed himself before being confronted by the police
Surveillance shows that the suspects intent was to rob the casino with an assault rifle, so he's not being classified as a terrorist.
"He ransacked the storage room of the chips of the casino," taking with him about 113 million pesos, Dela Rosa told reporters.
"Despite reports that the gunman fired a rifle inside the casino, Metropolitan Manila Police Chief Oscar Albayalde told the AP the bodies were discovered by firefighters in smoke-filled rooms. All had apparently died from suffocation and smoke inhalation. None had gunshot wounds. "
This was the gun used by the suspect. You can see the damage done to the gun from the fire and ash

Here's my question. What defines a terrorist? I feel like if you terrorize a large amount of people - you're a terrorist.
What do you think would've happened if they revealed that he was actually a Muslim?
