‘Horrific’: Dozens of Neighbors Sign Letter Calling Out St. Louis Gun Couple
Residents of an adjoining gated neighborhood say the couple doesn’t represent the area.
The nearly three-dozen signers live on Westmoreland Place. That street and the adjoining Portland Place, where the McCloskeys live, make up a historic gated district in St. Louis’s Central West End.
“From many walks of life, people choose to make this neighborhood home for many reasons, including the sincerity, empathy, and neighborliness exhibited by the vast majority of those who live here,” the open letter reads.
Nevertheless, Noonan said, trespassing is not necessarily grounds to draw a gun.
“We don’t condone trespassing,” he said, noting that the neighborhood bylaws had specific language about unauthorized entries. “But if that happens in the form of civil disobedience, it cannot ever be met by threat of violence.”
