HUMBLE, Texas (KTRK) -- A 9-year-old at the center of a Houston Regional Amber Alert out of Humble is back home safe, according to police.

King Davenport was last seen just before 4 p.m. Wednesday. Authorities said he was getting off the school bus at an apartment complex in the 600 block of Wilson Road when he ran away from his mom. A search for him ensued, with an alert going out just before 8 p.m.
