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.

“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.”

My belief also.

My bet is that you are right on the money.

It's a shame that they let totally naive dudes be police chiefs. Based on the facts presented and the pics of victim and the perp, I'd rate the probability that the pair had previously engaged in sexual activity at approximately 99%.

I doubt the Chief is that naive. He’s trying to keep the stain off of the Department. It’s Chicago, ergo it’s the Chicago way.

She shoulda just waited for the tobaccy to kill him.

What were they watching? Chris Matthews? The View?

#10. That’s NOT Monica. It’s some other woman who got “cigar-ed in the Oral Office”.

How awful, may the victims rest in peace.

All that delicious pension money he wasn’t gonna spend on her must have driven her nuts. LEO’s get fantastic pensions at a relatively young age and get to live life to the fullest without ever having to work one more day ever again. You can see in his pics how happy he was.

A really good cigar smells pretty nice when it’s burning. The problem is very few people smoke really good cigars.

Unrequited love?

Retired at 51? Maybe she was a frustrated taxpayer!

Just kidding: they were sex partners.

The preferred term is “ badge bunny”.

Both troopers were retired, ages 51 and 55.

“A really good cigar smells pretty nice when it’s burning.”

For me, never a smoker, Some cigars have a very pleasant aroma and I can understand the attraction.

Some smell like burning hair/not so good.

Nope,
The “Humidor”
went Bad.
