The St. Louis lawyers who were seen holding guns while protesters marched past their home are now being investigated for possible criminal charges, said the city’s lead prosecutor.

“I am alarmed at the events that occurred over the weekend, where peaceful protestors were met by guns,” St. Louis Prosecutor Kimberly Gardner said, noting there was also a “violent assault” in a separate incident in the city.
