Police probing an early morning shooting in Glasgow have slammed the horror attack as a 'completely reckless act'.
We told how two men were shot at in a van sitting on Tollcross Road, in the east end of the city at around 7.40am today.
Officers have since confirmed that three men in total were in the van when they were attacked, aged 28, 31, and 55.
The trio were sitting inside a white Ford Transit van outside the One Stop Shop when a 'firearm was discharged'.
The 28-year-old and the 55-year-old were rushed to Glasgow Royal Infirmary where they were treated for injuries.
Both victims have since been released from hospital.
The 31-year-old man was not injured.
A City Scaffolding van was pictured inside the cordon. The Record approached City Scaffolding but they declined to comment.
Tollcross Road is currently shut in both directions between Amulree Street and Killin Street as officers remain on the scene.
Locals were left 'shocked' by the 'loud bang' in what they describe as a usually quiet area of Glasgow.
One resident told the Daily Record: "We heard a loud bang and it woke us up it was really scary.
"It is absolutely shocking."
A second local said: "I couldn't believe that two guys have been badly hurt.
"This is a really quiet area where nothing bad ever happens so the community is shocked and we have really been shaken."
A third added: "I heard sirens going off this morning then suddenly loads of police were in the area it was mental."
A fourth person said: "I heard a huge bang it sounded like a lorry had blown a tire or something but two guys have been hurt."
The motive behind the shooting is yet to be established.
Officers are trawling CCTV footage and making door-to-door enquiries in a bid to trace those responsible.
Police assure locals that there is an increased number of patrols in the area.
Anyone with information is being urged to come forward.
Detective Chief Inspector Peter Sharp at Greater Glasgow CID said:"This was a completely dangerous and reckless act which resulted in two men receiving medical treatment.
“We are still trying to establish a motive for this incident and a team of officers are conducting CCTV and local enquires to try and gain further information and identify the person or persons involved.
