(CNN) -- Soccer mom Meleanie Hain, who made national headlines last year by having a loaded, holstered handgun at her 5-year-old daughter's soccer game, has been found shot dead in her home along with her husband, police said Thursday.

Information from 911 calls shows that it took a SWAT team nearly an hour and a half to gain entry to the Lebanon, Pennsylvania, home Wednesday evening. Inside, they found the bodies of Hain, 31, and her husband, Scott, 33, police Capt. Daniel Wright said.

Police have avoided labeling the incident a murder-suicide. However, they do not believe that another person was involved, Wright said. A full investigation is under way, he added.

4. I can understand why she and her hubby were having problems.

It is hard to live with a nut case. But this was tragic for their children. Hopefully they do not grow up to think that things can be solved by using a gun instead of dialogue and common sense.

5. People who die by the gun at home are dead by their own hand or a family member's hand.

Gun lovers who love to taut 'successful' home intrusion 'fight' stories are on the fringe.

Oh, yeah. "He who lives by the sword, will die by the sword."
