The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said two toddlers who were abducted by their father Friday morning have been found safe.
Police said that at approximately 6:34 a.m., the man assaulted the mother of his two children and left in the mother's minivan with the girls, ages 1 and 3. Authorities said he was armed.
About 2 1/2 hours after issuing an Amber Alert, the BCA canceled it, saying the children had been found safe and that the suspect was in custody.
