GARY, Ind. (AP) - Authorities in northwestern Indiana say a 15-month-old boy who was taken from his Gary foster home at gunpoint has been found.

Gary police Lt. Dawn Westerfield said the toddler was kidnapped about 11:20 p.m. Monday by two unidentified males with their faces covered. Details about where the child was found late Tuesday wasn't immediately disclosed by authorities.

The toddler was wearing a T-shirt and diaper when he was taken from the home. Westerfield says authorities are concerned for the safety and welfare of the toddler.

The (Munster) Times (http://bit.ly/1UZAdX7 ) quotes investigators as saying the boy might be with his 15-year-old mother or his 17-year-old father.
