Shooting at house in Stirling was targeted attack

Police cordoned off part of Randolph Crescent following the incident

Police say an incident in which a man was injured when a shot was fired at the door of a house in Stirling was a targeted attack.

The 38-year-old suffered minor injuries at the property on Randolph Crescent in the Whins of Milton area at about 20:00 on Monday 19 February.

The man was taken by ambulance to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow for treatment.

Additional police patrols are continuing in the area.

One eyewitness had described a scene of "carnage". They said armed police had responded after a vehicle had drove off following a "massive bang".

A car matching the description was found burnt out near the A71, Ayr Road, Shotts, later in the evening.

Det Insp John Currie said: "We believe this was a targeted attack and are following a number of lines of inquiry.

"A silver or grey Kia Sportage was seen in Randolph Crescent and Glasgow Road around the time of the shooting.

"We would urge anyone with information on this car or anyone with dashcam or personal footage to review it and get in touch."
