It comes just over a week after a man was hospitalised after another shooting just a few suburbs away in Theodore, which ACT Policing linked with outlaw motorcycle gangs.

Detective Superintendent Scott Moller said police responded to shots of gunfire at Richardson at about midnight, with three people inside the home at the time.

"One of the people in that house was struck by one of those shots and suffered a gunshot wound to the shoulder. She has been transported to hospital and is being treated as we speak," he said.

"She is the best care that she can be in — it's not a critical injury."

While it was "very early days", Detective Moller said he believed the incident was the result of an inter-gang conflict involving the Nomads.

He said the victim was not in a gang but was related to gang members and lived at the place she was shot, while all other people in the home were known to police.

Police believe at least three men fired roughly five shots at the house, which is on Baynton Crescent.

No other homes appeared to be hit.

"It is worrying and that's why we're committed to progressing this investigation and pursue it to the end," Detective Moller said.

He said he was investigating whether the shooting was linked to the shooting in Theodore earlier this month, in which a man was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

In a separate incident this morning, ACT Policing also attended the scene of a suspicious death on the other side of the city.
