A burnt-out car has been found after a man was shot by two masked men in a flat in Glasgow.

The 42-year-old was left fighting for his life in hospital after being gunned down at a property on Wellshot Road, Shettleston, at around 8.10pm on Saturday.

The suspects then ran out of the flat and into a small dark car that was parked outside.

Detectives investigating the attempted murder have now uncovered a burn-out vehicle less than three miles away from the scene.

Inspector John Morrison said: "Our enquiries so far have identified a car which we believe may be significant to the enquiry was found burnt-out on Tuesday, October 16, at Dunnottar Street, Ruchazie.

"The vehicle is an old-style Renault Megane, black in colour, with five doors and a 57 plate.

"Where it was found is less than three miles from where the 42-year-old man was shot within his home in Wellshot Road.

"What we know so far, is that the vehicle was parked in the Dunnottar Street area over the weekend of October 14 before being found burnt out by emergency services on Tuesday.

The vehicle will now be subject of rigorous forensic tests which should hopefully assist us with our ongoing enquiry.

"I would be very keen to speak to anyone in the local area who may have seen this vehicle in the area.

"Did you see any of the occupants and could you provide information to us which might help us identify those responsible?

"Any motorists in the area who may have dashcam footage are also asked to contact us.

"We continue to experience a lack of information being provided to us by the public which is very disappointing.

"However, we are determined to find those people responsible for this violent attack.

If you have any information, please be aware you do not have to pass it directly to police.

"Please don't assume the information you have might not be useful, let us be the judge of that.

"However, if you call the police with information, we do have mechanisms in place to protect you, so please do not hesitate to contact us.

"We know that there are people out there who have information that would assist with our enquiry, and we would urge them to pass that information."
