SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — An Amber Alert that was issued for a 5-year-old boy who was taken from a Spokane Valley home following a stabbing has been canceled.

The alert was canceled Tuesday afternoon after the boy and his father were located.

Authorities said Tuesday evening that Robertson was found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound after an hours-long standoff south of Spokane in St. John.

41-year-old Justin Robertson broke into the home of his estranged wife early Tuesday, stabbed her multiple times and took their son.

Police say the woman’s injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
