The bloody Glasgow shooting spree when gunman left trail of death and injury

On July 15, 1969, a lone gunman embarked on a horrifying 90-minute shooting spree in what would be one of Glasgow's bloodiest days in living memory.

Armed with a sawn-off shotgun and a .32 rifle the twisted shooter didn't care who he hit as he took pot shots at random people from the top floor window of a tenement flat in Kelvinbridge.

One person was killed and a total of 15 people were injured in the shooting, including a boy aged seven and a policeman.
