A man has appeared in court charged with attempting to murder a man and shooting at another flat. Jonathan Adair, 24, allegedly acted with others and carried out a murder bid on Paul Fleming at Lumloch Road, Lenzie, on November 23, last year.

He faces a second charge that, while acting with others on the same day, he fired two bullets from a handgun at a ground floor window at Kenley Road, Renfrew where John Jackson lived.

Adair, from East Kilbride, appeared in private at Glasgow Sheriff Court where he was represented by Bobby McCormack.

Papers from the court claim that Adair and others, carried out the attempted murder on Mr Fleming and did “discharge a handgun at him whilst he was driving”.

And, that Adair and others allegedly “did culpably and recklessly discharged a firearm namely a handgun and did fire two bullets through a window at a property then occupied by John Jackson”.

Adair made no plea and was remanded in custody.

He will appear at a full committal hearing next week.
