They report that members of the public and media have made excessive attempts to contact them in recent days, requesting private information and interviews. Families have also endured negative and inappropriate comments on social media. KSP asks all members of the media and public to respect the dignity and privacy of the victims and their families. One of the families has asked KSP to release the following statement on their behalf: “Please stop calling and texting us, especially our minor children who are victims.
