OCILLA, Ga. (AP) - Police in the south Georgia town of Ocilla are searching for suspects after home invaders held a group of children at gunpoint.

Police tell WALB-TV (http://bit.ly/TjJTZP) that the gunmen burst into the home early Thursday morning.

Police say two men -- one armed with a pistol and the other with a shotgun -- pointed their guns at five children in the living room while demanding money.

Authorities say the childrens' father pulled a gun, and the suspects took off running.

Ocilla is about 60 miles east of Albany.
