Police have promised extra patrols in a bid to reassure residents of Scotstoun following an attempted shooting in broad daylight yesterday (Sunday).

As reported on Glasgow Live, a 27-year-old man was shot at as he sat in a parked car in Kingsway Court around 6.30pm last night.

The shooter was in a car which had pulled up beside him, but the suspect missed and made off from the scene as the victim drove off along Kingsway Court and crashed his car a short distance away.

He was not injured during the incident.

Officers remain on the scene today, where a badly damaged blue Suzuki Swift can be seen under police guard.

Detective Inspector John Morrison said the shooter showed “utter disregard for the safety of members of the public” and described the incident - being treated as attempted murder - as a targeted attack.

He added: “We believe the attack was specifically targeted at the victim and additional patrols will be in the area to provide reassurance to the local community.

“This type of behaviour will not be tolerated and extensive enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident.

"The surrounding area would have been busy at the time and it is absolutely vital that anyone who saw or heard anything comes forward to assist with our enquiries.

“Anyone with information is asked to contact Drumchapel CID via 101, quoting incident number 3687 of Sunday 20 May 2018. Alternatively you can call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where details can be given in confidence.”
