A masked gunman shot a young driver after a car chase through Glasgow.
The gunman opened fire on the 22-year-old in his car in Southloch Gardens, off Petershill Road, Springburn.
It is believed the victim - who has not been named by police - had driven his Volkswagen Golf at high speed from the city's East End, chased by another car.
When he pulled up at Southloch Gardens, a cul-de-sac, a masked man leapt out of the second car and opened fire at around 7.50pm on Tuesday.
The victim suffered multiple wounds to his side and was taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary, where his condition is stable.
The gunman drove off along Petershill Drive.
Its is believed the shooting may be linked to a drugs feud.
Residents in the area said armed police arrived at the scene and the area was cordoned off.
Strathclyde Police suspect a VW Golf recovered after the incident was the car driven by the gunman.
The car, which had been torched, was found on the road between Lenzie and the Auchinairn area of Bishopbriggs, East Dunbartonshire, and is being examined by forensics officers.
Police said patrols in the area of the shooting had been stepped up, and door-to-door inquiries were taking place.
Detective Inspector John Kennedy, who is leading the investigation, said: "I would appeal to anyone who was in the area of Southloch Gardens on Tuesday night and witnessed this incident to come forward."
