Gun-toting soccer mom Meleanie Hain's neighbors say family was private


Gun-carrying soccer mom Meleanie Hain died with her husband, Scott, in what police are calling a murder-suicide. Hain, 31, and her husband, Scott, 33, were pronounced dead by Lebanon County Coroner Dr. Jeffrey Yocum shortly after 8:30 p.m. Wednesday in this home at Second Avenue and East Grant Street, Lebanon, police said.Meleanie Hain may have been known throughout the country for her stance favoring gun rights, but few of her neighbors knew much about the Lebanon woman who was shot to death, along with her husband Scott, in an apparent murder-suicide Wednesday evening.

Neighbors said the Hains pretty much kept to themselves. Thomas Shaak said the Hains moved in eight or nine years ago, but he barely knew them, even though most of his other neighbors regularly talk to each other. He never heard them fighting, he said.

Police are releasing few details about the deaths before an autopsy is performed Friday. Lebanon police Chief Daniel Wright said police were called to the house about 6:20 p.m., and called in the Lebanon County Emergency Services Unit, the local SWAT team. Immediate neighbors were evacuated, and other neighbors were told to remain in their homes. Police entered the Hains’ home after about an hour and a half and found the two bodies, one on the first floor and one on the second, according to Wright. Source pennlive.com
