Chandigarh, December 5

A massive explosion was reported in a locality in the US after a suspect fired a flare gun at police who were trying to serve a search warrant at a residence.

The incident occurred in the Bluemont neighborhood of Arlington, in the state of Virginia across the Potomac river from Washington.

A massive noise was heard around 8.20 pm on Monday. Power was knocked out in the immediate area and flames could be seen shooting in the air from a nearby street.

Police in a Virginia suburb are investigating the explosion.

The Arlington County Police Department said in a statement that the suspect fired several shots inside the home and that an explosion happened. Firefighters were working to extinguish the fire.

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).
