    Somebody who has to have a gun on display at all times, including a 5-year-old's soccer game, at the very least has some judgement issues. So does any parent who entrusts such a person with their child.

    Police confirm the husband killed her -- and why she didn't have time to pull the trigger herself.

    Guns right's advocate Meleanie Hain was shot to death by her husband, Scott Hain, as another man watched via a webcam, Lebanon police announced Friday.

    The man, who police only identified as a mutual friend of the Hains, was engaged in a webcam video call with Meleanie Hain while she was in the kitchen Wednesday evening about 6 p.m. The call had been going on for several minutes and the man had turned his head from the screen for a moment when he heard a gunshot and a scream, said police.

    When the man turned to look at the camera, police said he observed Scott Hain walk into view and fire several times in the direction of where he last observed Meleanie. He saw nothing else and the connection eventually terminated, police said.

    The man immediately called the Lebanon County 911 Center where he was connected with city police who dispatched officers and the Lebanon County Emergency Services Unit.

    After making repeated attempts to contact anyone inside the Hain household the ESU team entered the South Second Ave. home shortly after 8 p.m. where they found Meleanie Hain, 31, in the kitchen and Scott Hain, 33, dead of a bullet wound to the head in the upstairs bedroom.

    The Hains three children made it out of the house unharmed.

    Also found in the house were several handguns, a shotgun, two rifles and several hundred rounds of ammunition, said police.

    Crappy story; no mention of the dog!

    And if the shooting happened at 6, why did it take 2 hours for the police to find the bodies?
