A gang wearing Halloween masks shouted "trick or treat" before shooting a man in the doorway of his home.
Police said at least two men dressed in dark clothing called at a house on Acacia Avenue in Huyton, Merseyside.
A woman answered the front door and was joined by a man, aged 31, who was then shot several times. He is critical but stable in hospital after surgery.
Det Ch Insp Phil Scarth, of Merseyside Police, said: "We believe the address was targeted."
He added: "At this time we are keeping an open mind about the incident. However, we do not believe it is connected to any other shooting.
"We have carried out house-to-house inquiries near to the scene and high visibility patrols have been stepped up."
A forensic examination has been carried out in the area and Acacia Avenue remained closed on Tuesday morning.
