On arrival of the police, one man was reportedly seen with gunshot wounds and a magazine containing thirteen nine millimetre cartridges found beside him.
Investigations led the police to search the premises and a Taurus pistol, a Beretta pistol and three additional cartridges were reportedly found atop a roof.
The injured man was taken to hospital for treatment.
Another man later turned up at hospital with gunshot wounds, reporting that he was injured in the same area.
Both are being treated under police guard while detectives probe the incident.
