An Amber Alert is in place for two missing children after their mother was found dead in Hanford on Tuesday.
Deputies found a woman dead from a gunshot wound in a home near Fourth Place and Orchard Drive.
The Kings County Sheriff’s Office says the woman’s daughters, two-year-old Alana and three-year-old Arya, were taken from the home by their father, 23-year-old Jonathan Alexis Maldonado-Cruz.

I got an alert at 1130 pacific time. Prayers for the little ones and the mother’s family.
I just got the alert at school!
Just got the amber alert on my phone about 7 minutes ago…I hope those children are found safe and soon. They need to find that guy asap..
It just happen when I was in the library at my school. Hope these kids are found
Wait, I thought the CHP supported the guy who wanted mass deportations even if it destroyed families? Didn't he just save them the trouble of doing it themselves?
Seriously though, what this man did is terrible. I hope no harm comes to the children.
God bless the little girls please 🙏🏻 😢
I got it too
Funny how the news can post photos and information for an Amber Alert, but for all other types of crimes or situations they hide all description information of the suspects. Information on crime and perpetrators of crime should never be suppressed. I hope they find these little girls alive and well.
Tf I didn’t get an amber alerr
🙏
Yes, I literally got an AMBER alert from my phone while working in English class, and most of my peers noticed that too.

I was driving and listening to the radio and the amber alert came on i was disappointed i could hardly make out what they were saying so much static

My prayers 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 to the family dear god 🙏 please bring these beautiful babies home safe 🙏❤😢 Amen
Today at school the amber alert went off but before that my friend said “we are literally at school learning while two kids are probably getting kidnapped right now or someone is probably dying right” and then a few seconds later boom the amber alert went off
Another border gift thanks to Newsom, Biden, and Harris !
They will bring justice to the suspect.
I hope they find the girls soon and arrest that insane “father” ASAP. This is horrible.
"Now that is an avengers level threat." Ahh video
I cannot sleep, I've been thinking about thee little girls all day. I pray they are found safe.
Humanity is going crazier by the year
