A 38-year-old man has been arrested and charged following an incident in which a firearm was reportedly discharged from a moving vehicle in Aberdeen on the evening of Saturday 10 October. According to BBC News, the incident took place on Ruthrieston Crescent, with no injuries sustained and no property damaged in the discharge.
Police Scotland confirmed that the man has been charged in connection with reckless discharge of a firearm. Detective Inspector Bruce Buntain stated:
Our inquiries are ongoing, but I would like to thank the public for their assistance.
The incident comes amid a series of firearm-related incidents across Scotland during October. A firearm was discharged through a flat window in Kilmarnock on 12 October, which police believe was a targeted attack, and three people were arrested in Ladybank, Fife after a suspected firearm was reported on Victoria Street on 8 October. Both incidents resulted in no reported injuries.
The Aberdeen incident remains under investigation by Police Scotland, with officers continuing their inquiries into the circumstances surrounding the discharge from the vehicle.
