POLICE are hunting the “abhorrent individuals” who shot a man in a targeted attack.
A 29-year-old man is being treated in hospital after shots were fired in the Springburn area of Glasgow on Saturday.
Medics have described his condition as “serious but stable”.
Police believe two men in a red Audi estate car approached the victim in Dykemuir Street at about 11.15am.
They then made off at speed down nearby Craigenbay Street.
The passenger in the Audi is described by Police Scotland as being a man in his late 30s, who was clean shaven and wearing a dark tammy hat and a dark hoody.
There is no description of the driver at this time.
Detective Inspector Jim Bradley from Greater Glasgow CID said: “This targeted attack was carried out in a residential street in broad daylight and the men responsible not only endangered the life of the victim, but other members of the public in the surrounding area.
“It is absolutely vital that we trace these abhorrent individuals and we would urge anyone with information that could assist our inquiries to come forward.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
