US police are searching for a man suspected of shooting three people before snatching a three-week-old baby in Southern California.

Long Beach Police Department said officers went to a home last night after a call about a shooting.

They found two men and one woman, the baby’s mother, with gunshot wounds.

Police spokeswoman Marlene Arrona said the victims were taken to hospital in a critical but stable condition.

Police said a baby girl named Eliza Delacrus was missing from the home.

Detectives believe a man suspected of shooting the three may have taken the newborn and run away.

They did not release any details about the suspect.
