Hollywood star Matthew McConaughey has reacted to the mass shooting that took place in his hometown of Uvalde, Texas. The actor took to Twitter to address the carnage, which saw an 18-year-old gunman kill 19 children and injure some others at a primary school. Sharing a long note, he wrote, “As you are all aware, there was another mass shooting today, this time in my hometown of Uvalde, Texas.” The Oscar winner spent the first 12 years of his life in Uvalde, which is about 130 km west of San Antonio, near the border with Mexico, and where the shooting happened. — IANS

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).
