TWO teenagers shot in a drive-by shooting on the Gold Coast are known to police, officers say.
But they say the shooting does not appear to be gang-related or have links to previous incidents at the Benowa house where the shooting took place on Wednesday night.
After the shooting, one of the victims posted on Facebook a Wild West-style photo of himself posing with a gun.
The teenagers, 17 and 19, were sitting in the garage of the Heeb St residence when bullets were fired through the closed roller door from a passing white car.
They were shot in the back and taken to Gold Coast Hospital and treated for minor shrapnel wounds, before being released.
Senior-Sergeant Toby Wilkinson, of Burleigh Heads CIB, said police had been to the house 'a number of times' previously to attend 'domestic' incidents, but there was no evidence of a link to the shooting.He said there was also no indication the shooting was gang-related.
"It appears to be a one-off incident at this stage...investigations are still ongoing,'' he said.
Det Sen-Sgt Wilkinson said the teenagers were among eight people in the house at the time of the shooting. They were among three people in the garage, which had been converted into a living area, when the bullets pierced the aluminium door.

He said the .22 calibre bullets were believed to have been fired from the passenger's side of a white, late 1990s model Holden Commodore sedan.
The victims were lucky they were not more seriously hurt, Det Sen-Sgt Wilkinson said.
"In any situation where victims sustain any gunshot wound, they can consider themselves lucky,'' he said.
Police spent Thursday examining the house and interviewing the occupants.
Call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
