Mary-Marguerite Kohn, co-rector of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Ellicott City, has died of injuries suffered in a shooting Thursday night in which a church administrator was also killed, Howard County police said Sunday.

A man whose body was found nearby is believed to have shot the women and then turned the gun on himself, police said.

Kohn, 62, of Arbutus, was pronounced dead at the University of Maryland Shock Trauma unit Saturday night, police said. …

Kohn was listed as an affiliate faculty member at the Loyola Graduate School of pastoral counseling. Part of her studies involved researching the needs of survivors of clergy sexual abuse, according to the Sirdan Institute, a non-profit organization based in Brooklandville that helps people recover from traumatic events.
