Re-appeal for information a decade after Glasgow shooting

Detectives in Glasgow are appealing for information to help them solve a shooting in the city nearly a decade ago.

In May 2008 a 47 year-old financial adviser was found in her office New City Road with gunshot wounds and rushed to hospital – despite an extensive attempted murder probe, no one has been caught.

She had been working alone within the office at the time of the shooting, which officers believe took place around 2pm - forty minutes before she was found seriously injured.

Despite extensive enquiries, numerous media appeals and also an artist’s impression of a man seen in the area at the time, officers have yet to trace the person responsible.

Detective Inspector Peter Sharp of City Centre Police Office said: “Although over nine years has passed since this incident, all new lines of enquiry will be vigorously pursued, and we would urge anyone who hold information that may assist this attempted murder investigation to now come forward to police.

“I am convinced that someone has information regarding who is responsible for this attempted murder, and for some reason has not yet come forward to police. This may be due to misplayed loyalty or fear of reprisal. I would ask anyone in that position to look to their conscience and consider the anguish that the victim has gone through these past nine years. Please do the right thing and come forward. Any information you give can be treated in confidence and those with concerns can also phone Crimestoppers.”

Anyone with information should contact City Centre Police Office through 101. Alternatively Crimestoppers can be contacted on 0800 555 111, where anonymity can be maintained
