At a press conference today, Lebanon police said Meleanie Hain was in the kitchen on the first floor of the home and communicating with a friend of hers and Scott's when Scott Hain fired six shots from a 9mm handgun registered to him. Scott Hain then went to the second floor of the home and shot and killed himself with a shotgun, police said.

Police said the friend had turned away from the computer during the conversation but turned back to the screen when he heard a shot and a scream. The friend did not see Meleanie Hain shot, but did see Scott Hain fire a gun where Meleanie had been sitting and called 911, police said. Police did not identify the friend or further categorize his relationship to Meleanie Hain.

Police have served a search warrant and seized the friend's computer.

Police took several handguns, a shot gun, two rifles and several hundred rounds of ammunition from the Hains' home. Meleanie Hain's handgun was found fully loaded and in a backpack near the front door of the home, police said.

The couple's three children were home at the time of the shooting but were not hurt. Police did not say whether any of them witnessed the shootings.

Meleanie Hain’s mother, Jenny Stanley, told WGAL-TV that the children, ages 2, 6 and 10, were “hanging in there.” “I’m devastated,” Stanley said. “I lost my daughter. I lost my best friend. The children lost their parents.”

Parole officers appear to be able to deny the requirement.

I want to make sure discussions on commenting boards on news sites are factual..

Meleanie told me Scott was issued a Glock 19. This was the reason she switched to a Glock. I can't remember what she had before that though.

My only feeling was shock that this was witnessed not only by her children, but also by a friend online. I can barely imagine the helplessness you felt and my thoughts and prayers go out to you.

she had some type of taurus handgun -- I remember the thread where she was talking about trading it for the glock 26

This story seems to raise more questions.

Did he love her so much he could not bear to lose her?

Or did he hate he so much?

I guess we will never know the whole story.

Dagny on here is a Probation Officer and she carries/was issued a Glock 23

In PA, isn't there a difference between a Probation Officer and a Parole Officer?
