Retired ISP Trooper Killed, Two Others Injured in Shooting
A retired Illinois state trooper was killed and two other troopers, one current and one retired, were injured in a shooting at a Chicago-area cigar lounge last night.
The woman who police identified as the shooter, Lisa V. McMullan, of Chicago, eventually turned the gun on herself and died at the scene, according to a statement from the Lisle Police Department.
The incident took place at the Humidor Cigar Lounge in Lisle, located about 25 miles west of Chicago.
Surveillance video captured the shooting and showed several people sitting in a room watching television, according to police.
Around 10:13 p.m., McMullan is seen standing up “without apparent provocation,” drawing a handgun and shooting a man in the back of the head, police said.
She then fires several other rounds at two other men before fatally shooting herself, according to police.
The man shot in the back of the head was taken to a local hospital where he died.
Illinois State Police identified him as Gregory Rieves, a 51-year-old retired trooper. He had retired about a year ago and was with the department for 22 years, ISP Director Brendan F. Kelly said.
The two injured victims were identified as Kaiton Bullock, a 22-year-veteran of the department who was off duty at the time, and Lloyd Graham, a 55-year-old retired trooper.
Both of those officers remain hospitalized in stable condition, according to state police. They are expected to recover.
Kelly said that ISP is not involved in the investigation, meaning that it does not appear the shooting was related to their duties or conduct. Any relationship McMullan may have had to the victims will be investigated by the Lisle Police Department, which is taking lead, according to Kelly.
