A gun incident where shots were fired in residential street is being probed by detectives.
The incident happened at around 10.05pm on Wednesday in Riddrie.
Concerned neighbours in Riddrie Knowes raised the alarm after hearing "loud bangs".
At the same time, a dark coloured jeep was seen driving off at speed towards Smithycroft Road and a silver car was spotted reversing away from the street.
Detectives discovered a black Nissan Qashqai on fire in nearby Eden lane.
There was nobody within the vehicle.
Detective Inspector David Stewart, from Shettleston Police Office, said: "Inquiries are underway to establish the circumstances surrounding last night’s events.
"Officers, including specialised search and forensic teams are in the area to speak to local residents and to establish whether a firearm had actually been discharged.
"At this time we have not received any reports of anyone being injured.
"However I’d like to reassure those living in the area that a full search of the surrounding area will be carried out.
"I urge anyone who has seen either a black Qashqai or silver coloured vehicle in the Riddrie area between 10pm and 10.15pm to contact police immediately."
Anyone with information is asked to contact Shettleston Police Office on 101
