THE police have closed off a portion of Argyle Road after a car with two people inside was shot at and sprayed with bullets.
According to ALS Paramedics spokesperson Garrith Jamieson, paramedics responded to the scene just after 13:30 this afternoon after they received numerous calls of a shooting incident that had occurred on Argyle Road between Stanger Street and the Brickhill Road intersection.
“Paramedics arrived on scene to find that a vehicle [was riddled] with bulletholes and immediately assessed the two occupants of the vehicle. Fortunately, only one of the occupants sustained gunshot wounds – one female, believed to be in her thirties, sustained minor to moderate injuries and was stabilised on scene before being transported to a nearby hospital by paramedics,” said Jamieson.
