Metropolitan Police Subcommittee Mark Rowley has explained that eight officers fired up to 50 shots for fear the three attackers would carry explosives to kill themselves.
Rowley has explained in a public appearance that this number of shots "is unprecedented", reason why an investigation has been opened.
Personally I'd prefer to have a survivor to interrogate, but the agents should have a medal.
The lack of security is remarkable as the hotel is very close to the airport.
About ISIL, I start thinking that they claim responsability always. Every country's volunteers are called soldiers of the Caliphate even if they never were there. It's a copycat roleplay.
The attacker was caucasian and he did not shot anyone. He set fire to some tables and shot at random only to create panic. He filled a backpack with game chips worth 113 million Philippine pesos, or about 2 million euros. Subsequently, in his flight he abandoned that bag.
Finally he suicided with gasoline and a shot.
Authorities have also ruled out a terrorist motive, and has highlighted that the victims died from the smoke.
RE: Are you on drugs?
Legal drugs or illegal drugs, it's the same. Some are dangerous or addictive.Opioids, for example.
