(CNN) -- A Pennsylvania soccer mom was chatting with a friend via webcam when she was shot to death by her husband, who then went upstairs and shot himself, police said Friday.
Pistol-packing soccer mom Meleanie Hain was shot dead while chatting with a friend on a webcam, police said.
Meleanie Hain, 31, made national headlines last year as the mother who carried a loaded, holstered handgun to her 5-year-old daughter's soccer game.
She was found dead in her Lebanon, Pennsylvania, home along with her husband, Scott Hain, 33, on Wednesday evening, Lebanon police said.
Hain was in her kitchen talking with a friend via webcam just before her death, police said. Video Watch why Hain caused controversy »
The friend, who police will not name, was looking away from the computer screen when he heard a shot and a scream, police said. He turned back to the monitor, he told police, and no longer saw Meleanie Hain but instead saw Scott Hain firing several rounds from a handgun toward where his wife had been.
Police said that the woman's body had already fallen to the floor by the time the friend turned back to the screen.
Scott Hain then went upstairs to a bedroom, where he shot himself in the head with a 12-gauge shotgun, police said.
Meleanie Hain was shot several times with a 9 mm handgun, police said. Her fully loaded 9 mm handgun was found in her backpack hanging on the back of the front door.
The couple's three children were home at the time of the killings, police Capt. Daniel Wright said. They were unharmed and took refuge at a neighbor's house before police arrived, he said.
Investigators have confiscated the webcam and computer, but cannot review what the friend says he saw because the online conversation was not recorded.
The death of the couple came four months after Meleanie Hain told her attorney she was separating from her husband, her attorney, Matthew B. Weisberg, told CNN Thursday. However, police said the couple still appeared to be living together. advertisement
Meleanie Hain drew media attention on September 11, 2008, when she carried a Glock strapped to her belt to her daughter's soccer game.
Nine days later her permit to carry a gun was revoked by Lebanon County Sheriff Michael DeLeo, who claimed she showed poor judgment by wearing the weapon to a child's game. County Judge Robert Eby later reinstated the permit.

Why would he use the 9mm on her and not use it on himself? I always thought it was pretty hard to commit suicide with a shotgun. I wonder if the guy she was talking to was her boyfriend.

Article states that she had mentioned her desire to divorce the husband. Shotgun does a fine job of ventilating the brain, as evidenced by this story.

I'm curious Jimbo, what that article has to do with a craigslist posting?

I wonder if the guy she was talking to was her boyfriend. You'd get good odds in Vegas on that. It also makes me wonder of the content of their "discussion".

The first story... hilarious.
The second, adultery will make people do rash things. People kill people, guns are just a way of facilitating that. I have no problem with people carrying... if someone wants to kill someone else gun or not it's going to happen.

Love love love the first story.
Not sure of the point the second story was trying to make. Sad story...but as for adultry...girls can have guys as friends...doesn't mean they are sleeping together...just a thought.

You are right, Barb, but if that were the truth, it didn't do that woman any good. What is relevant was how the Husband perceived the relationship. Obviously he was enough off the deep end to commit murder, so he was probably convinced she was sleeping around, even if she wasn't. A little bit humor, a little bit truth here: Guys will usually assume that their girlfriend/wife's guy friends want to sleep with them.....because they probably do.
Back to the craigslist story: There may have been an original version of this story that is true, and this one may be it. I've seen half a dozen versions of this at different places, all with the same theme but subtle differences. So I'm thinking Urban Myth / Hoax, but still funny.

Ted Kennedys car killed more people than my hand gun.
Not trying to make a point, although I do agree with the 2nd ammendment. I just LOVED the story
