Three children have been found safe and two suspects are in custody after an Amber Alert was issued by Union City Police on Friday afternoon.

According to authorities, suspect Christian King, 35, had made suicidal comments to his family and has an active warrant out for child sexual assault.

The children, from Edmond, Oklahoma, who are 13, 12, and 6, were last been seen around 7am Thursday in the Edmond area, reported News 9.

They were found safe and well in Owasso, where their father has family in the area, according to Fox 23 News.
