Update by Fred Cunningham

Greenville County deputies are still looking for two men who carjacked a mother and her two young children Friday night.


It happened after 7:00 pm off Watkins Bridge Road, near Furman University.
Tami Strong says it still feels "unreal" to her. "You don't expect to be sitting in your garage at your home, and have someone rob you," she says.

Strong says she was just returning from a trip to the movies with her children, and pulled in to her garage. "I turned around after about a minute of sitting there, and there's a shotgun in my face."

The men told Strong to give them her wallet and keys. She grabbed the children and they took off.
The car was later driven into a pawn shop off Gentry Memorial Highway in Pickens County, but the men managed to get away.
