St. Louis couple point guns at protesters calling for Mayor Lyda Krewson to resign

It happened at a home on Portland Place in the Central West End neighborhood. The man held an AR-15 while the woman held a pistol.

Social media users slammed the couple, not just for pointing guns at protesters who appeared to be lawfully avoiding the property, but how the couple held their weapons in an unsafe manner...sometimes inadvertently pointing the guns at each other.

No shots were fired.
