A suburban mother who became a voice of the gun-rights movement when she openly carried a loaded pistol to her daughter's soccer game was fatally shot Wednesday along with her parole-officer husband in an apparent murder-suicide at their home in Pennsylvania Dutch country, authorities said.

Police released scant details about the deaths of Meleanie Hain, 31, and Scott Hain, 33, but said more information would be released Friday after their autopsies.

Melanie Hain, who was cited for open-carrying a handgun at a soccer match in 2008 [see Geek Article here] was shot and killed, along with her husband yesterday, October 8, 2009.

Neighbors said the children ran outside and said their father had shot their mother, but Wright declined to disclose what investigators have concluded about how the deaths occurred.
Out of respect for the family, I will make no comment, other than to say that my position on the legal carry of firearms is not modified by this tragedy.
