A drive-by shooting at a house in Glasgow and a car crash in the same street are being linked by detectives.

"Officers have been carrying out enquiries in the area and are studying CCTV footage to gather more information on this crime.

"I would appeal to anyone who was in the area late on Monday night, who witnessed the shooting take place, or who saw the Volkswagen car to contact Drumchapel Police Office through 101.
