In the letter titled ‘I pray we consider the children, before the gun.’, Maryann Kohberger wrote, “As I sat this morning, reeling from yet another school shooting, I found myself wrestling with which actions need to be taken to stop all the madness. What is the answer? Gun control measures? Mental health intervention?“ She also shared a poem written by her Therapist daughter, Melissa Kohberger about the Uvalde mass shooting. The poem reads, “Bereft of their laughter There is now not a sound As we lower our children into the ground Small hands and feet Buried six feet deep into the earth of the world that failed them.“ “As I read the poem, I thought, whatever the solution, I pray we consider the children before the gun,” Maryann Kohberger concluded. 2 | |
| MaryAnn Kohberger had also written a letter to the editor of the Pocono Record in which she expressed her opposition to the death penalty and abortion.

The family’s statement reads, “First and foremost, we care deeply for the four families who have lost their precious children. There are no words that can adequately express the sadness we feel, and we pray each day for them. We will continue to let the legal process unfold and as a family we will love and support our son and brother. We have fully cooperated with law enforcement agencies in an attempt to seek the truth and promote his presumption of innocence rather than judge unknown facts and make erroneous assumptions. We respect privacy in this matter as our family and the families suffering loss can move forward through the legal process.” 4  | |
