The alert was issued at 8:50 Sunday morning for two children in the Bronx who were abducted from their home following the dispute, police said.

Police said the suspect, Fitz Edwards, and the mother of the two young children got into an argument this morning. Edwards then allegedly fired one shot at her, which missed, before taking off with the kids, 1010 WINS’ Carol D’Auria reported.

According to police, Nahzir Edwards, five years old, and Mlyliah Edwards, two years old, were abducted on Barker Avenue at about 4 a.m. on Sunday.

The alert was canceled just after noon on Sunday when the kids were found safe in a car in Harlem. Police continue to search for Edwards.

A witness said he heard the early morning commotion.

“We heard a bang and we thought something fell and we heard someone walking down the steps with a child crying,” a downstairs neighbor told D’Auria.

When Edwards got outside with the kids, that is when he allegedly jacked a car and drove off, prompting the AMBER Alert, according to police.

He was believed to be armed with a gun, police said.

Edwards was traveling in a grey 4-door sedan 2005 Honda Accord with NY license plate number EWV6599. The license plate is the white empire version, police said.

Bronx Kids Found Safe After Dad's Alleged Kidnapping, Carjacking

Cops are looking for a man they say kidnapped his two children while shooting at their mother and trying to light her Bronx apartment on fire, then carjacked someone at gunpoint for an escape vehicle, all with the kids in tow. Fortunately, the kids were found in the stolen Honda about nine hours after the 5 a.m. kidnapping, but the suspect, Fitz Edwards, is still at large. A neighbor told the New York Daily News Edwards shooed his 5-year-old daughter out into the night wearing just a t-shirt: "She had no socks, no sneakers. And someone was here, I couldn't see them from the peephole. They were telling her, 'Oh come on! run, run, run.' It was a man’s voice. She just went along and went down the stairs." Edwards made it about three blocks on foot before he allegedly held up the owner of a 2005 Honda, police said. All in all it's a hell of an alleged crime wave to bring the kids on.
