Man rushed to hospital after gunman shoots through front door of Scots home as terrified neighbours hear ‘loud bang’
A MAN has been rushed to hospital after a gunman shot through the front door of a home in Stirlingshire.
Emergency services raced to Randolph Crescent in Bannockburn shortly after 8pm last night.
Pictures from the scene show what appears to be a bullet hole through a glass panel of the property's front door.
The 38-year-old man was taken by ambulance to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow for treatment after suffering minor injuries.
He has since been discharged.
A police presence remains at the house tonight where a section of the street has been taped off.
An eyewitness said: “It was carnage here last night and very, very scary.
“I noticed a car doing laps of the street a few times, and not long after 8 o’clock there was a massive bang.
“Then you heard a car screaming out of the street.
“I ran straight to the window but the car was gone and nobody was standing about.
