Police were called to Carlingford Close at just after 8.40pm on Wednesday (June 3) following reports the 19-year-old man suffered an injury to his arm.
The victim was taken to hospital for treatment on his injury which is not thought to be life-threatening.
Detectives believe the incident occurred in nearby Upper Parliament Street.
An investigation is underway and house-to-house and CCTV enquiries are being carried out in the local area.
Detective Inspector Jay Boardman said: “We are in the very early stages of this investigation and we are seeking witnesses and CCTV and Ring doorbell footage to piece together what has happened.
“Firearms and the reckless people who choose to carry and use them have no place on the streets of Merseyside and we would ask for the public’s help to locate who is responsible and bring them to justice.”
