Former San Jose State University women's volleyball assistant coach Melissa Batie-Smoose, who was suspended for her opposition to a transgender player, discusses President Trump’s executive order banning transgender athletes from women’s sports.

EXCLUSIVE: The home of former San Jose State University assistant volleyball coach Melissa Batie-Smoose was shot at on Monday night in Scotts Valley, California, Batie-Smoose and local police have told Fox News Digital. 

Scotts Valley Police Department Captain Scott Garner told Fox News Digital that officers have determined that the weapon used was a pellet gun, and it is being investigated as an act of vandalism. The pellet has been recovered by police. Nobody was harmed and no suspect or motive has been determined. The investigation is ongoing. 

"We're following up with some neighbors just to see what we can find out," Garner said. "At this point, there's no surveillance, there's no leads, there's no nothing. We're just going to do our due diligence to go and interview the neighbors."

Batie-Smoose previously filed a Title IX complaint against the program over a situation involving transgender volleyball player Blaire Fleming. Batie-Smoose is also involved in a lawsuit against SJSU and the Mountain West conference over the situation involving Fleming.
