POLICE are hunting a gunman who fired shots at a van during an evening attack, reports Hannah Rodger.
The incident in Priesthill happened on Tuesday January 27, around 6.45pm.
A Ford Transit van parked on Neilston Avenue was shot at, leaving the 37-year-old driver in shock but uninjured.
Police have now appealed to the public for help in tracing the shooter, whose motives are current unknown.
Officers are searching for the driver of a dark coloured Volkswagen Passat which was in the area at the time.
The vehicle was later found abandoned and on fire near Rouken Glen Golf Club.
Detective Inspector Greig Wilkie of Greater Glasgow Division said today: "Extensive enquiries ongoing into this incident, and a motive is still to be established.
"We are keen to trace the occupants of a dark-coloured car that was seen in Neilston Avenue at the time of the shooting.

"The car is currently undergoing a full forensic examination.
"The inquiry team are currently gathering CCTV footage in an effort to gather more information on the incident and those responsible.
"I would urge anyone who was in the area of Neilston Avenue around the time of the incident on Tuesday night who witnessed anything suspicious to come forward to the investigation team, as they may have information that is vital to us.
"I would also ask anyone who saw the Volkswagen Passat to contact us too."
"I understand that people may have concerns about the incident but I would like to reassure them that everything possible is being done to trace who is responsible.
"There will be additional officers patrolling the area to provide reassurance to the public.
"If anyone has any concerns please speak to officers."
Anyone with information is asked to contact 101.
