Woman kills retired trooper, self at Chicago-area cigar bar

LISLE, Ill. — A woman fatally shot a retired Illinois State Police trooper and wounded another retired state trooper and an off-duty trooper Friday night before turning the gun on herself at a cigar lounge in the Chicago suburbs, police said.

The shooting at the Humidor Cigar Lounge in Lisle was “without apparent provocation,” Lisle police said after reviewing surveillance video. The footage shows several seated people watching a big-screen television when the woman stands up, shooting 51-year-old Gregory Rieves in the back of the head and firing several rounds at two others, before shooting herself in the head, police said.

Acting Lisle Police Chief Ron Wilke later said that the woman — identified as Lisa V. McMullan, of Chicago — and the victims were "acquaintances." "I believe they know each other, but do not believe there is any relation," he told reporters.

McMullan was found dead at the scene. Rieves, who retired from the state police in March after 25 years with the agency, was rushed to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Retired Trooper Lloyd Graham, 55, and Trooper Kaiton Bullock, 48, who was off-duty at the time, remained hospitalized Saturday with injuries that were not considered life-threatening, police said.

Let’s wait and see what the connection is. This sounds rather personal.

Why the hell did they let a woman in a cigar lounge? That’s just asking for trouble.

Yes, it’s early. This is inexplicable. Was it personal or was she out of her mind?

Cigars do smell awful if it’s not me smoking them with some nice whiskey. Actually I’ll just have the whiskey cigars are terrible and I gave them an honest try.

Services rendered, payment not forthcoming? Don’t think all the evidence is on the table yet. Private lounges, smoking, co-ed? Wow that can lead a lot of places.

Murder suicide. They always do it in the wrong order.

They went to high school together, I’m guessing it was personal and she was crazy.

Lisle cigar lounge shooter went to high school with slain trooper: police

A woman accused of shooting three Illinois State Troopers Friday night, killing one, had attended the same west suburban high school as the slain trooper and had a valid license to carry a concealed gun, according to police.

The woman, identified as 51-year-old Lisa V. McMullan, of the 1400 block of East 55th Place in Chicago, opened fire on the three state troopers shortly after 10 p.m. Friday while they were together at the Humidor, a cigar lounge located at 1600 Ogden Ave. in west suburban Lisle, according to Lisle police and the DuPage County coroner’s office.

Gregory Rieves, a 51-year-old retired state trooper with 22 years of experience, was killed and two other state troopers — one retired and the other off-duty — were wounded before McMullan turned the gun on herself, authorities said.

McMullan fired a total of seven shots, including the one she used to take her own life, police said.


Lisa V. McMullan

In a statement Saturday, Lisle police said McMullan and Rieves both attended Proviso East High School in Maywood during the 1980s, but had not yet determined whether “their relationship was more than just acquaintances.”

Police said McMullan possessed a valid Firearm Owner Identification card and a concealed-carry license issued by state police and had no known criminal history.

He is retired.

I am guessing that “acquaintence” means they knew each other and were in a relationship.

He decided to stop seeing her and she couldn’t handle it and shot him.

The guys there know what he said that pushed her buttons. Long time bed buddies and promises made, then he tells the guys he’s baggin it to Arizona. The Choo Choo jumps the track. It’s Chicago.

Being that this is in Chicago, I wonder who Rieves and McMullan will be voting for in the November election?

Several cousins went to that high school but in the 60s and 70s.

Was she a cop groupie? Why shoot the other two if she was going to off him and herself ? Crazy woman. Check their “social media” . Sucks for the deceased, make it all those years unscathed to be killed by a “friend” of some sort.

Maybe they were laughing about it too. When a train jumps the track it takes a lot of cars with it. The locamotive goes first then the rest pile up. The survivors know what it was. It’s my WAG he mentioned plans that didn’t include her. If you’re going to jump who cares who goes with you? You are already nuts to jump. Again just my WAG.
