Investigators are searching for answers after a woman killed a retired state trooper and shot two others before turning the gun on herself.
The shooting happened Friday night at the Humidor Cigar Lounge near Chicago in Lisle, Illinois, according to Fox News. The suspect was identified as 51-year-old Lisa McMullan, who authorities say knew the victims, two of whom are retired Illinois state troopers and one of whom was an off-duty trooper.
“Without apparent provocation, a female seated in a chair behind the victims stands up, draws a handgun, and shoots the first male victim in the back of the head,” Lisle police said. “According to the video, she then fires several rounds at two additional male victims before fatally shooting herself in the head.”
The trooper killed was identified as 51-year-old Gregory Rieves. The two who were wounded are off-duty trooper Kaiton Bullock, 48, and retired trooper Lloyd Graham, 55. The two are expected to recover from their injuries.
“At this point, we have no idea why this happened,” said acting Lisle Police Chief Ron Wilkes. “We’re interviewing a lot of witnesses and hope to get to the bottom of this.”
“The Illinois State Police family have heavy hearts this morning,” said Illinois State Police Director Brendan Kelly.
