Police found a 42-year-old man and 32-year-old woman with gunshot wounds.
They were both taken to hospital in a stable condition.
At about 12.45pm yesterday, police arrested a 31-year-old man in Wallsend.
Police say they found two guns at the property, and seized them for further examination.

He was refused bail to appear in Newcastle Local Court today.
