The woman convicted of shooting her mother and sister to death and staging the scene as a murder-suicide has been sentenced to life in prison after jurors convicted her in a retrial.
Megan Hargan, 41, was ordered on Friday to serve two consecutive life sentences for first-degree murder and six years for two counts of use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, the Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney announced.

As previously reported, Megan Hargan was living with her sister, Helen Hargan, 23, at the home of their mother, Pamela Hargan, 63, in McLean, Virginia.
The defendant, however, was angry that Pamela was financially helping Helen, and not her, with buying a house, authorities said.
