LEBANON, Pa. — The husband of the Pennsylvania soccer mom found dead in an apparent-murder suicide was a parole officer and former prison guard.
Autopsies are planned Friday for 31-year-old Meleanie Hain and 33-year-old Scott Hain. They were pronounced dead Wednesday night at their home in Lebanon.
Meleanie Hain made headlines after she attended her daughter's soccer game on Sept. 11, 2008, with a gun in plain view on her hip. A sheriff revoked her gun-carrying permit, but a judge reinstated it.
The Corrections Department says Scott Hain was a state parole officer since August 2008 and previously was a state prison guard.
Police are offering few details on the shooting, including the weapons used.

LEBANON, Pa. (AP) — A mother of three who gained national notoriety after she openly carried a loaded handgun to her daughter's soccer game was shot dead along with her husband in what appeared to be a murder-suicide.
Meleanie Hain, 31, and Scott Hain 33, were pronounced dead shortly after 8:30 p.m. Wednesday at their 1 1/2-story brick home in Lebanon, a small city about 80 miles west of Philadelphia.
The couple's three children home at the time but weren't hurt, police told the Patriot-News in Harrisburg. They were taken to stay with friends and relatives.
Some neighbors told the Lebanon Daily News they heard or saw the children — a 10-year-old boy and girls aged 2 and 6 — running from the house and screaming "Daddy shot Mommy!" shortly before the 911 emergency center was alerted at 6:20 p.m.
Debbie Mise, who lives nearby, said she heard a strange sound following by the screams of the children.
"I heard something heavy drop or fall, and then right away I heard the kids screaming, but I thought they were playing," Mise said. "It was loud. But it didn't sound like a pop."
Lebanon Police Chief Daniel Wright said Thursday that the case is classified as a "death investigation" involving two adult victims, but that no one outside the home nor any of the children is suspected of killing the couple. Detectives were still at the scene late Thursday morning, he said.
Wright said he did not plan to release any additional information about the case until after Lebanon County Coroner Dr. Jeffrey Yocum conducts autopsies on Friday.
Details about the shootings and what prompted the violence remained unclear Thursday morning.

Sad story but ironic.
