A man was shot dead as he sat in his Audi, police said.

The victim was attacked in the south side of Glasgow just before midnight on Tuesday and died later in hospital.

A Police Scotland spokesman said: "At 11.55pm on Tuesday, a 26-year-old man was shot while sitting in his Audi vehicle at a junction in Scotland Street, Glasgow.

"He was taken by ambulance to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, where he died a short time later. Police are treating the death as murder."

Scotland Street was closed at both ends to all traffic while police investigations are carried out.

At the scene on Wednesday morning, one police van was present outside the multi-storey car park.

A police officer was also standing outside the entrance to the nearby subway station.
