The Texas Department of Public Safety has canceled an Amber Alert for two missing boys in Collin County. 

The two boys - ages 8 and 6 - were last seen at 10 p.m. Wednesday at the Shell gas station on the corner of West Audie Murphy Parkway and Harvard Boulevard in Farmersville.

Police say they were last seen with their father who was driving a black 2019 Ford Fusion with unknown license plates.

According to the Princeton Police Department, the suspect was calling a local business Thursday morning threatening to kill himself and his estranged wife, who worked at the business. Officers responded to the area but did not find him.

Princeton police say the suspect was also sending threatening text messages to his estranged wife, who is the mother of the missing boys.

Authorities say the boys are in imminent danger and are asking anyone with information to call 911 or the Princeton Police Department at (972) 736-3901.
