video posted online showed Mark McCloskey, 63, and his 61-year-old wife, Patricia, standing outside their Renaissance palazzo-style home in the city's well-to-do Central West End neighbourhood as protestors marched toward the mayor's home to demand her resignation. He could be heard yelling while holding a long-barrelled gun. His wife stood next to him with a handgun.
Mark McCloskey told KMOV-TV that he and wife, who are personal injury lawyers, were facing an "angry mob" on their private street and feared for their lives last night.
