Matthew McCulloch

Former St. Louis County police officer Matthew McCulloch — who was indicted by a grand jury after firing gun shots at a children’s trunk-or-treat in Kirkwood in October 2023 — on Friday pleaded guilty to six counts of endangering the welfare of a child, one count of making a terroristic threat and one count of unlawful use of a weapon.

One Kirkwood family is still attempting to heal after, prosecutors say, former St. Louis County Police Officer Matthew McCulloch screamed "everyone would die" at people attending a community event while firing gunshots into the air.
