Two people were inside the home at the time of the shooting but escaped physical injury.

Authorities believe the shooting may involve parties known to each other and have moved to reassure the community that there is no broader threat to public safety.

The incident occured 50 minutes before a similar shooting in Glenorchy, which left a teenager with non-life-threatening injuries.

Pulse understands police are looking at whether both incidents are connected.
