Six people, including a 17-year-old mum and her baby were killed in a shooting in central California, authorities confirmed today.
The shooting took place at a home in Goshen, central California, with authorities currently searching for at least two suspects.
"Actually the report was that an active shooter was in the area because of the number of shots that were being fired," Sheriff Mike Boudreaux told reporters.
Officers found two victims lifeless in the street, and a third fatally shot in the doorway of the property, Mr Boudreaux confirmed.
Three more victims were found inside the home, including one man who was found alive but later died in hospital.

Police have said they believe there is a gang connection to the killings.
The sheriff's office carried out a narcotics-related search warrant at the home last week.
"We also believe this was not a random act of violence," Mr Boudreaux said.
"We believe this was a targeted family," he added
Goshen is a semi-rural community of about 3,000 residents 35 miles southeast of Fresno in the agricultural San Joaquin Valley.
