Police Confiscate Rifle from St. Louis Couple Who Pulled Firearms on Protesters

On Friday, authorities confiscated the rifle of Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the couple who confronted protesters in their neighborhood with firearms on June 28. The McCloskeys later said on Sean Hannity's show that the protesters allegedly threatened violence. The St. Louis Police Department confiscated the firearm as a part of an ongoing investigation into the incident. No charges have been made against the McCloskeys, as the warrant was only for their guns. When it comes to wording, some right-rated outlets used words like "raid,"in their headlines, while many other left- and center-rated outlets framed their headlines as "police execute search warrants," although the McCloskey's lawyer told NBC News Saturday that the McCloskey's home was not searched by police and they voluntarily gave up the rifle.
