Earlier Tuesday, St. Louis County Executive Sam Page announced the county would not be placed under a curfew Tuesday night.
Page said he has been in communication with the county police department’s leadership who “told me today that a countywide curfew was not needed at this time.” However, Page still urged residents to go home as early as possible and stay home Tuesday night.
