Police launch attempted murder probe after Govan shooting

A shooting at a Glasgow shop is being treated as attempted murder.

Police say two masked men in dark clothing fled the scene in a Ford Fiesta after the attack in store on Drumoyne Road in the Govan area at about 4pm on Friday.

The man, age 52, was taken to hospital where he is said to be in a "stable" condition.

The car was seen driving "erratically" through rush hour traffic towards the Clyde tunnel and was later found burnt-out in a wooded area popular with walkers near Cochno Road, Faifley, Clydebank.

Police are appealing to the public for information about the incident.

Detective Sergeant Laura Roberts said: "I am appealing to anyone who saw a dark-coloured Ford Fiesta driving from the Drumoyne Road area, on to 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 inquiry, please get in touch."

Police are asking for anyone with CCTV or dashcam from this time to review it and contact them with anything which may be relevant.

Det Sgt 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 inquiries, 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 October 24 2024."
