Officers responded to reports of a disturbance between a man and a woman who knew each other at a home on Hodnet Bend in The Vines about 9.30am.
The alleged gunman, Unkovich, had already left before police arrived.
While officers discovered the woman inside the home uninjured, they believe the man had a serious injury to his arm.
Inspector Geoff DeSanges said earlier that police believed Unkovich was carrying a 12 gauge shotgun and was unwittingly helped out of the area.
"We believe he was given a lift by workers from a nearby building site," DeSanges said.
Unkovich was driven three kilometres away by the unsuspecting driver and was last seen on Strinesdale Boulevard in Aveley, hiding in bushes, police said.
Residents told 9News they were quite scared by the incident.
