Cops have launched a probe into a murder bid shooting inside a Glasgow shop which sparked a major armed response and left a man in hospital.
A firearm was discharged in premises on Drumoyne Road in the Govan area of the city on around 4pm on Friday, October 25. A 52-year-old man was rushed to hospital for treatment following the incident. His condition is described as stable.
Detectives are treating the shooting as attempted murder and believe the incident was targeted.
Officers have launched a hunt for two men who had face-coverings and were seen in the area at the time.
The men fled the scene in a dark-coloured Ford Fiesta, which police later discovered burnt-out in a wooded area a 30 minute drive away near Cochno Road in the Faifley area, a popular spot for walkers.
The Ford was driven through the Clyde Tunnel, before heading to Cochno Road via Great Western Road and Glasgow Road between 4pm and 5.30pm on Friday.
Officers have appealed to anyone with CCTV or dashcam footage.
Detective Sergeant Laura Roberts said: “I am appealing to anyone who saw a dark coloured Ford Fiesta driving from the Drumoyne Road area, onto the A739 to the Clyde Tunnel and out to Cochno Road using the A82 Great Western Road and Glasgow Road between 4pm and 5.30pm on Friday.
“We believe the car described was being driven erratically during rush-hour traffic on a Friday. Think back, did you see a car being driven in this manner? If you have any information which may assist our enquiry, please get in touch.”
Anyone with CCTV or dashcam from this time is asked to review it and contact us with anything which may be relevant.”
Officers locked down the street on Saturday, as both uniformed and forensics officers were spotted at the scene.
Specialist forensic cops in white suits were captured combing the area which contains several shops and a pharmacy.
Police have also been carrying out door to door enquiries and pouring through CCTV footage.
Detective Sergeant Roberts added: “No matter how small it may seem, the information you hold could be key to our investigation.
“We believe this was a targeted incident and there is not thought to be any wider risk to the public.
“As well as enquiries, including door-to-door and CCTV work, extra patrols are also being carried out.
“Anyone with concerns or information can speak to officers, contact Police Scotland via 101 or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, quoting incident number 2466 of Friday, 24 October, 2024.”
