Father in Spokane Valley Amber Alert found dead after SWAT standoff
A Tuesday morning Amber Alert led to a SWAT standoff with the father of a boy who was allegedly taken after his mother was stabbed in Spokane Valley.
The Amber Alert was initially sent around 8 a.m. Tuesday after Spokane County deputies responded to a residence and found a mother inside who had been stabbed multiple times.
The mother was taken to a local hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries. She told deputies she was estranged from her husband and had recently served him with divorce papers.
Her son and husband were later located at a residence in St. John, south of Spokane. The Amber Alert was cancelled, but a police standoff began.
A SWAT negotiation team was able to secure the boy, according to a Spokane County Sheriff's Office Facebook post published at 3:45 p.m.

"Unharmed" is kind of a misnomer, I should think. Kid will undoubtedly have PTSD. But it sounds as if there was no physical trauma to him.
Such sadness in the world.
