Man dies after street shooting

Police comb the street for clues

A murder investigation is under way after a man was shot dead in a quiet cul-de-sac on the south side of Glasgow.

Justin McAlroy was hit several times as he got out of his car in Acacia Way, Cambuslang, at 2200 GMT on Thursday.

The 30-year-old victim was taken to Glasgow's Victoria Infirmary but doctors were unable to revive him.

One line being pursued by police is that the killing was drugs-related.

Justin McAlroy could not be revived

Police have appealed for witnesses and particularly want to speak to anyone who saw a man wearing a woollen hat who was spotted running away from the area after the attack.

Neighbours have spoken of their shock at the incident.

Karen Wilson said she had been talking about moving house in the aftermath of the shooting.

"It's not something you want at all," she went on.

"You don't expect it anywhere near you.

"You think you're in a nice area then this kind of thing happens."

A post-mortem examination on the dead man was being carried out on Friday.
