Warrior, February 5

A police chase near Birmingham, Alabama, ended with an officer shot and critically wounded and four people in custody early Wednesday.

Police attempted to stop a vehicle on Interstate 65 about 10 pm Tuesday and the driver wouldn’t pull over, news outlets reported.

A patrol car from the town of Kimberly joined in and the officer wound up being shot.

The officer was being treated at a hospital in critical condition, and authorities did not immediately release a name.

A suspect identified in a public bulletin as Preston Chyenne Johnson, 37, was arrested along with three other people early Wednesday, according to police in Warrior.

Johnson has been arrested multiple times on drug possession and other charges over the last decade, court records show. — 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).
