Houston, May 8

An Indian engineer was among nine persons killed when a gunman opened fire at a crowded mall in Dallas in the US state of Texas, the authorities said on Monday.

Aishwarya Thatikonda of McKinney was shopping with a friend when they were shot by gunman Mauricio Garcia at the Allen Premium Outlets in Dallas, the New York Post newspaper reported.

The shooting erupted around 3.30 pm on Saturday as throngs of shoppers filled the outdoor mall. The shooting killed at least eight persons before Mauricio Garcia, a 33-year-old gunman, was shot dead.

She reportedly worked as a project engineer at Perfect General Contractors LLC. She was an engineer living and working in Texas while her family was in India.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
