St. Louis Couple Aim AR-15, Handgun at Protesters Marching Past Their Home.

Footage which appeared on social media shows a man holding a semi-automatic rifle and a woman pointing a handgun as hundreds of protesters march past their home in the Central West End neighborhood of St. Louis on Sunday.

The pair have been identified locally as personal injury lawyers Mark and Patricia McCloskey.

One clip shows several protesters angrily confronting Patricia McCloskey while she points a handgun at them on her lawn. One man wearing a "hands up don't shoot" T-shirt then urges the protesters to get back onto the street.

The couple featured in St. Louis Magazine in 2018 after they restored their mansion back to how it previously looked a hundred years ago.

The incident took place as the protesters were making their way to Mayor Krewson's home to demand her resignation after she revealed the names and addresses of people who were calling for the defunding of the police department during a Facebook Live video.

Krewson has since apologized for the incident after facing a backlash and calls for her to stand down.
