Pistol-Packin' Soccer Mom Shot Dead

Meleanie Hain and husband killed in apparent murder-suicide

Share

(Newser) – A Pennsylvania mom who hit the headlines last year for carrying a loaded handgun to her 5-year-old daughter's soccer games has been found shot dead with her husband in an apparent murder-suicide. The couple’s three children were home during the shootings but were unharmed, police told the Patriot-News. The pair had been having marital problems, neighbors said. Meleanie Hain's gun permit was revoked after other parents complained about her packing a pistol on her hip at games, but it was restored on appeal.

The way people look at me sometimes when I am out running errands, I feel as if I am wearing a scarlet letter, and really it’s a Glock 26. - Meleanie Hain on her lawsuit against the sheriff who revoked her gun permit

Nuclear bombs don't kill people, people kill people. Using NRA logic, not only should Iran be able to have nuclear weapons, we should all be able to have nuclear weapons to defend ourselves. They are perfectly harmless. Its the people that use them irresponsibly that are the danger. Reply
