Two customers shot and injured two McDonald’s employees in the US after they were asked to leave the dining area due to the Covid-19 restrictions. The incident occurred in Oklahoma City.

One employee was shot in the shoulder, while the other was shot in the leg, according to a CNN report. Both injuries were not life-threatening, the report said. A third employee, a woman, sustained lacerations on her head, the report added. The two suspects fled the scene but were caught nearby.

This is the not the first time such an incident has occurred in the US as residents have been protesting across the country against the government restrictions in place to fight coronavirus.

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).
