Police have recovered a burnt out car they believe may have been used in a Glasgow shooting.

A 22-year-old man was attacked while sitting in his Volkswagen Golf in Southloch Gardens, Petershill, at about 1950 GMT on Tuesday.

He is being treated in hospital where staff described his condition as "stable".

Officers recovered a second Volkswagen Golf which had been set alight on the road between Auchinairn and Lenzie.

Det Insp John Kennedy, of Strathclyde Police, said a man "whose face was partially-covered" carried out the shooting before making off along Petershill Drive, possibly in a Volkswagen Golf.

"I would appeal to anyone who was in the area of Southloch Gardens last night and witnessed this incident to come forward," he said.

"I would particularly like to speak to anyone who saw the VW Golf in the Petershill area.

More patrols

"It may have been parked at or near the scene sometime before the shooting and people may have noticed it.

"I would like to reassure members of the public that everything is being done to trace the person or persons responsible for this crime."

Det Insp Kennedy said officers were carrying out door to door enquiries in the area and police would be carrying out extra patrols.

A forensic examination is being conducted on the burnt-out Golf, which was recovered a short time after the shooting.
