Hundreds of people staged a demonstration near the home of a Missouri couple who pointed guns at protesters last week during a protest against the city's mayor Lyda Krewson.

The protesters, estimated at around 400 racially mixed people, chanted slogans and beat drums in a show of defiance during the protest on Friday near the couple's home in St. Louis.

Patricia McCloskey and her husband Mark McCloskey were captured on video training their guns at a group of Black Lives Matter protesters on Sunday.

The white St. Louis couple waved their guns as the demonstrators marched near their home on the way to the nearby home of Mayor Lyda Krewson to demand her resignation.

The protests are among dozens in St. Louis since George Floyd's death in Minneapolis on May 25.
