ST. LOUIS — St. Louis police officers executed a search warrant Friday evening at the home of Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the Central West end couple who confronted an unruly mob of protesters with weapons in June.
Police seized one of the weapons, the rifle, from the couple and they told police their attorney has the pistol seen in photos, KSDK reported.
The news agency is not aware of any charges against the McCloskeys at this time, and the warrant served Friday evening was just for the firearms.
