A man attacked a school in Slovakia on Thursday, killing one person using a knife before he was killed by the police, authorities said.

The attack took place at the United School in Vrutky in the morning hours. The establishment operates for children from elementary age up to high school.

The victim was the deputy director of the high school, authorities said.

The attacker was identified as a 22-year-old man from the town of Martin. Police said two adults and two students were treated in a hospital but didn’t immediately reveal more details. — AP

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).
