The 17-year-old was taken to Logan Hospital around 1am by a family member after an alleged altercation with associates known to him.
The boy is in a stable but critical condition at Princess Alexandra Hospital in Brisbane with a gun-shot wound in the right side of his chest.
"He was left at the hospital with a relative and medical attention was provided very quickly," Detective Acting Senior Sergeant Brendan Blyth said.
"We believe the gunshot wound was inflicted by another person.
"A single gun shot wound...I believe there are penetrative injuries to various areas including heart and lungs, the extent of which I'm unsure."
Acting senior sergeant Blythe said there were a number of teenagers of similar age known to the boy police would like to speak with.
No crime scene has been established but it's believed the shooting occurred somewhere in the Logan district, south of Brisbane between midnight and 2am.
Acting senior sergeant Blythe said it's believed the shooting wasn't a "random incident".
"Police will continue to investigate these persons to gain evidence necessary to proceed with a prosecution," he said.
"We're still in the very early stages of the investigation, it's difficult to rule out anything.
"Any incident involving firearms and violence are always concerning to police."
