A man has been charged after two people were injured in a shooting in the east end of Glasgow.

Police sealed off the area following the incident.

Three men, aged 28, 31 and 55, were inside a white Ford Transit van stopped outside the One Stop shop in Tollcross Road at around 7.40am on Tuesday.

A firearm was discharged at the van, leaving the 28-year-old and 55-year-old men injured.
