Authorities in Kings County issued an Amber Alert Wednesday for two young girls believed to have been abducted by their father after the girls' mother was found fatally shot at a residence.

An Amber Alert was issued Wednesday in the search for man sought in the killing of a woman in Central California.

An Amber Alert has been deactivated after two children, who were taken from a home in California's Kings County after their mother was found killed, have been found alive, officials said Thursday.
