Published 15th Jul 2015

A 24-year old man has appeared on petition at Edinburgh Sheriff Court today (July 15) charged with the reckless discharge of a firearm.

Kevin John Gartland made a brief appearance in private before Sheriff Alistair Noble.

No plea or declaration was made and the case was continued for further inquiry. Gartland was remanded in custody.

His appearance in court follows reports of an incident in Gilmerton Dykes Avenue in the city, when it is alleged that, in the early hours of Monday morning, shots were fired at the window of a ground floor flat.
