Gun-toting Soccer mom, Husband Found shot Dead

That's what guns are being used for: suicide.

A soccer mom who gained national attention when she openly carried a loaded gun to her 5-year-old daughter's game was shot dead Wednesday along with her husband in what appeared to be a murder-suicide, police said.

Meleanie Hain and Scott Hain were pronounced dead Wednesday night at their home in Lebanon, a small city about 80 miles west of Philadelphia.

The couple's three children were home at the time but weren't hurt, police said. They were taken to stay with friends and relatives.

Meleanie Hain, 31, and Scott Hain, 33, had been having marital problems for about a week, neighbor Mark Long said. Scott Hain had left the couple's home on Tuesday, and Meleanie Hain didn't know where he was, but he returned Wednesday, Long said.

More recent information suggests that Ms. Hain was shot and killed by her estranged husband, an abusive law enforcement officer against whom she was filing for divorce. Does this now mean that firearms are used by law enforcement officials to commit acts of murder prior to committing suicide?
