In the US, a gunman is suspected to have snatched a three-week-old baby after shooting her mother, father and uncle at a home in California.

All three victims of the shooting were taken to hospital with gunshot wounds. Two are said to be in a critical but stable condition, while another was treated and released.

Police are now looking for three-week-old Eliza Delacrus, who weighs 10 pounds, and who has been missing since Saturday evening.

Long Beach Police say "the suspect... fled the scene with the infant and remains outstanding. No vehicle was seen leaving the location."

They add that "although little is known about the suspect, detectives do not believe the shooting was a random act of violence."
