Sources close to the JDF said McKenzie, 33, was at work hours before the killing.
Contacted this morning, JDF civil-military cooperation officer Major Basil Jarrett confirmed that a probe was under way, promising further details after a briefing today.
The JDF will be seeking to determine whether there was a breach of protocol in respect of access to the armoury.
A Glock pistol, similar to the one used by the army, was removed from the crime scene.
The police also reportedly removed two empty magazines and numerous spent shells.
