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.

Pritzker calls for a statewide ban on cigar lounges.
The cigar industry has been under relentless attack from _both_ parties for several years now.
Bottom line, though—if the Democrats ever control the White House and all of Congress, cigars will become very expensive and very rare—and illegal to order online.
(I have a lifetime supply on hand just in case... ;-) )
This would have never happened in a briarwood pipe lounge.
The blue line. Chief knows whats up, hes just protecting another cop.
Looks like another crazed entitled black woman.

When are they going to ban cigars in Chicago?
I doubt that.
