Gunshots fired at Glasgow home in targeted attack as police launch probe

Police have launched a probe after gunmen blasted away at a home in a brazen targeted attack.

The incident happened around 11.30pm on Thursday, January 16 in Glasgow . No one was injured and enquiries are ongoing including a review of CCTV and officers going door to door in the area.

Police said shots were fired by “persons” who got out of a dark coloured, four-door car in Salmona Street, Hamiltonhill, in the north of the city before returning to the same vehicle. The car then sped off in the direction of Auckland Street.

Detective Inspector John Morrison of Glasgow CID said: “The information we have gathered so far leads me to believe that this was targeted and not a random attack.

“While there was no one injured, it should go without saying that discharging a firearm like this in a built up area is an incredibly reckless act.

“I would appeal to anyone who was in the area and who witnessed the car on Salmona Street or the surrounding area on Thursday night to come forward.

“I would also ask anyone who has private CCTV to check the footage for anything of significance which may assist our enquiries. If you were driving in the area and your car is equipped with a dashcam I would also ask you to check the footage too.

“Patrols will be carried out by uniformed officers in the area to provide reassurance while we continue with our investigation.”
