RICHMOND, Va. – After threats of violence at Virginia’s Capitol ahead of Monday’s large gun rights rally, Virginia State Police plan to continue to help Capitol police with security in Richmond “as long as needed,” a spokesperson told 10 News on Friday.
Dozens of state police troopers were there for Monday's event. The spokesperson said VSP won't know the total costs from the day for several weeks.
