An AMBER alert has been canceled after a woman and child believed to be abducted in Minneapolis were found safe.

According to police spokesperson John Elder, police responded to the 2000 block of Grand Street NE at 12:35 p.m. When they arrived they heard from witnesses that a man had been in a verbal, possibly domestic dispute with a woman who had a 2 or 3-year-old child with her.

The witnesses told police that the suspect forced the woman and child into a vehicle at gunpoint.

The Minnesota BCA issued an AMBER alert, but just before 5:30 p.m. it was canceled. The BCA reports that the mother and child have been found safe. Elder said they were found in Brooklyn Park.

Police do not believe the incident was random, and think it may be domestic.
