Georgia issues alert in child abductions....UPDATE - They've been found safe

ATLANTA, Georgia (AP) -- A statewide alert was issued for a man who police say assaulted his ex-girlfriend in her home early Tuesday, critically wounded her father and then abducted her two small children.

The man was identified by authorities as Terrance McDowell, the father of one of the abducted children.

McDowell, 27, of Riverdale, Georgia, went to the 20-year-old woman's home in Conley at 3 a.m., forcing his way in with a gun, Clayton County Police Capt. Tim Robinson said.

McDowell assaulted the woman and shot her 64-year-old father in the face and chest before fleeing in her car with the two children, Robinson said.

The statewide alert -- known as a Levi's Call in Georgia -- described McDowell as 6-feet-tall, 185 pounds and last seen wearing a red shirt and blue jeans. It also said police were searching for green 1998 Kia Sephia with the license plate ARL 5783.

The alert was issued for 5-year-old Jaquan Wright and his 4-year-old sister, Faith McDowell. Terrance McDowell is Faith's father, authorities said.
