Huber Heights School District is mourning a Wright Brothers Elementary School staffer found dead at her Miami Twp. home following a shooting.

The district told parents about 29-year-old Mackenzie Battle’s death Monday via a letter and canceled school for all students Tuesday.

Miami Twp. police have not released how Battle was shot or other details about the shooting. Police officers were called at 5:13 a.m. Sunday to Battle’s home in the 2800 block of Eckley Blvd. following a 911 call regarding a woman shot. Audio from a 911 call indicates Battle may have suffered a gunshot to her hip.

The Montgomery County Coroner’s Office responded to the home and ruled she died around 6:08 a.m., the township said. Her cause and manner of death have not been determined, according to a release from the coroner’s office.

The case remains open as detectives are pursuing all leads, the police department said via Facebook. No further details were available Tuesday.
