A boss of a Glasgow scaffolding firm and his employee have been wounded after being caught up in an early morning gun attack.
The shooting took place yesterday morning (12 January) while the men were taking a break in their truck outside a busy city store in Tollcross, Glasgow Scotland.
The unidentified gunman fled the area immediately after the incident. Emergency services attended the scene at 7.40am after three men aged 28, 31 and 55 were attacked, reports The Daily Record.
The 28-year-old and the 55-year-old were rushed to Glasgow Royal Infirmary where they were treated for injuries. The 31-year old man who was also in the truck escaped injury.
Both victims have since been released from hospital.
Police Forensic officers immediately locked down the area around the scaffolding company truck to begin an investigation.
