Police say the children ages 4 and 7 were taken from their home by their mother, 28-year-old Arriel Bryant, after the Monday night shooting.

The website for the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children identifies the kids as 7-year-old Armani Kelley and 4-year-old Anijah Kelley.

Police are asking for anyone with information to call 911.
