Police in Kansas were searching for a suspect after three people were found dead on Sunday outside a home near Hesston, a rural area about 35 miles northwest of Wichita.
Authorities said an 18-month-old baby was found alive inside the home.
The Kansas Highway Patrol on Sunday said there was no active search for a suspect, KWCH-TV reported, but police on Monday said they were searching for a suspect. None was immediately identified, KAKE-TV reported.
Harvey County Sheriff Townsend Walton said he couldn't provide any details on a possible motive for the killings.
In a statement, police in Newton, located in rural Harvey County, Kansas, said the shooting was reported around 5:30 p.m. local time, when Harvey County 911 received a call from a motorist who had been flagged down and told about the shooting.
Walton called the shooting "a targeted event," adding, "I believe everybody is safe right now."
One of the victims, a male, was in his 50s, The Hutchinson News reported. The other two, a male and female, were believed to be in their mid-30s.
The baby, who was not hurt, belonged to the couple, police said.
The victims’ identities were not immediately released.
