A Central Pennsylvania mom who made headlines last year after she brought a loaded gun to her 5-year-old daughter's soccer game was found dead with her husband Wednesday night in an apparent murder suicide.
Meleanie Hain, 31, and her husband, Scott Hain, 33, had been having marital problems for the past week, a neighbor told The Patriot-News. Scott Hain had left the family home on Tuesday, but returned Wednesday.
Their three children were in the house, but were not injured. They are staying with relatives. Autopsies are scheduled for today.
Meleanie Hain made national headlines after she brought a loaded pistol, holstered on her hip, to her daughter's soccer game on Sept. 11, 2008, according to The Patriot-News report.
A county sheriff revoked her gun-carrying permit, but a judge later reinstated it, although he questioned her judgment in bringing it and scaring others at the game.
Hain sued Sheriff Michael DeLeo in federal court, claiming her babysitting service suffered, her children were harassed and neighbors ostracized her. The
A hearing on the $1 million lawsuit was postponed in May after an attorney in the case was involved in a traffic crash.
