Helping Paws Inc. announced Gilbert's death from injuries sustained in the shooting at the Hortman family's home. Melissa was remembered not just as a lawmaker but also as a dedicated volunteer with Helping Paws, contributing to the essence of service dogs. The community mourns the loss of both human and canine lives in this devastating incident.
We are mourning the loss of two dedicated volunteers and one of our beloved dogs who once trained in our program.
