The deputy quickly determined the baby was unresponsive and put out a radio call about the emergency.

Another deputy arrived and they rushed to Long Beach Memorial Hospital as one deputy performed CPR.

The department says the baby was resuscitated before reaching the hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.

The department says there’s no evidence of foul play.
