An Ohio teacher and volleyball coach was killed in a suspected home invasion, with a manhunt still underway for her killer.
Ashley Flynn, 37, was gunned down at 2:30 a.m. Monday while her husband and their two children were also home, but were not injured, according to Tipp City police.
Officers had been called to a burglary, and there were signs of forced entry, Tipp City Police Chief Greg Adkins told WHIO-TV, calling it a suspected burglary gone wrong.
She was “murdered in her home,” her pastor, Jordan Hansen of Dayton’s Christian Life Center, said in tribute to the “beloved member of our church, devoted servant of Jesus, and wife, mom, daughter.”
Police immediately sealed off the surrounding area and searched with drones and K-9s, but “no suspects were located,” police said.
The mom was a teacher at Lifewise Academy and also a volleyball coach for the Tippecanoe Middle School.
“She was known for her beautiful smile, warmth, kindness, and the positive impact she had on so many — both in and out of the classroom and on the court,” Tipp City Schools said Monday.
