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.

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.
