EXCERPT:

QUINN: "We begin at 4 with breaking news. 5 On Your Side has learned charges have been filed against the McCloskeys, the St. Louis couple who pointed their guns at protesters outside their Central West End home. It's all according to the couple's attorney, Joel Schwartz, who says they were charged with unlawful use of a weapon. A conviction could result in prison time and a fine. It all stems from what the world witnessed in photos and video that have now gone viral. They show Patricia McCloskey with a pistol, her husband Mark with a rifle. Police were at their home last week with a warrant to confiscate those weapons.”
