Police divers hoping to find the weapon are searching canals near the Gold Coast home where the woman, 26, was shot in the thigh about 8.15am (AEST) on Monday.

Detectives on Tuesday revealed there may have been a second victim.

They're following information that a man may have been injured, although the nature of any injury isn't known.

Detective Superintendent Dave Hutchinson said the man may have left the house, in Namatjira Court at Broadbeach Waters, before police arrived.

He said police were still trying to piece together what happened, and other people who were at the house when the shooting occurred were helping with inquiries.

He said detectives were yet to interview the injured woman, who underwent surgery on Monday.

"She's still in intensive care, but her injuries are certainly not life threatening," Det Supt Hutchinson told reporters.

He confirmed that members of Taskforce Hydra, set up to investigate the activities of outlaw motorcycle gangs, were involved in the investigation on Monday but had since withdrawn.

"There's nothing to suggest that outlaw motorcycle gangs are involved in this incident," he said.

"No Taskforce Hydra members are on the Gold Coast today."

He refused to say if people caught up in the drama were known to police, nor would he say if any drugs were found inside the house.

"I don't want to talk about operational matters at this point in time," he said.

Police began their investigations after ambulance officers called to the house alerted them. It was the fourth shooting on the Gold Coast this month.
