## Resource

A devoted mother, artist, and ocean lover, Melanie Hambrook was fatally shot by Calgary police during a high-stress encounter on Deerfoot Trail. Her ex-husband insists she was not violent, but instead in the grips of a severe mental health crisis triggered by life’s pressures. Though she was found with a knife, family and advocates argue officers failed to recognize her fragile state. Now, the family seeks justice and support through a fundraiser, with leftover funds going to her son — as the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team continues its investigation.
