Missouri Capitol Police continue to try to find out who placed small "target" stickers next to the Capitol office doors of at least six state lawmakers Tuesday.

And why.

Senate President Pro Tem Rob Mayer, R-Dexter, said the Highway Patrol also had been asked to investigate.

"We want to find out who conducted this type of action (and) bring them to light," he said, adding that both lawmakers and potential troublemakers should know "this type of horrible conduct will not be tolerated by this Senate body. We all respect each others' safety and security."

Law officers declined to comment on their probe.

The small, orange stickers appeared between 12:30 and 1:30 p.m., state Sen. Robin Wright Jones, D-St. Louis, said.

"There was no note. No message," she said.

At least five Democratic senators received a sticker, placed on the hallway nameplate next to their office doors.

"A few of the senators removed them, only to have them replaced by bigger stickers, later in the day," Sen. Jolie Justus told colleagues.

At least one House Republican also received a sticker.
