A 46-year-old man and 25-year-old woman had approached a house to talk to a man, when he allegedly began shooting at them from his verandah.

The couple took cover behind a bus shelter, but the alleged assailant jumped a fence and continued shooting at them.

The man received several gunshot wounds to the chest, and the woman was shot in the leg.

The alleged assailant fled the property in a black BMW with another person, but surrendered to police two hours later at a Doolandella property.

Both victims remain in the Princess Alexandra Hospital, with the 46-year-old man in a critical condition.

One police officer was taken to the Mater hospital for treatment after he was bitten by the couple's dog.

Police expect to lay further charges over the shooting.
