A man was gunned down in a flat before another was shot whilst sitting in a car outside in an attempted murder.

The double shooting happened on Gordon Drive in East Kilbride shortly after 11pm on Tuesday.

Two men wearing balaclavas burst into a flat before shooting a 30-year-old man. He was taken to Hairmyres Hospital with a leg injury.

Another man, aged 31, was waiting in a Volkswagen Passat outside the flat when he was shot after being followed by the two attackers. He was treated in hospital for facial injuries before discharging himself.

Officers have closed Calderwood Road closed between Maxwellton Primary School and Capelrig Drive. There is also no access to Alison Lea from Calderwood Road.
