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 Friday night, authorities said.
The woman who police identified as the shooter, Lisa V. McMullan, 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, 51, 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 a 51-year-old retired trooper, but did not name him.
"The Illinois State Police family have heavy hearts this morning,” ISP Director Brendan F. Kelly said in a statement. “We are mourning the loss of a retired Trooper and praying for a full recovery of both our active and retired officers."
The two injured victims were identified as a 22-year-veteran of the department who was off duty at the time and a 55-year-old retired trooper.
Both of those officers remain hospitalized in stable condition, according to state police. They are expected to recover.
State Police said no other information would be released at this time. Calls to the cigar lounge were not immediately returned.
The Lisle Police Department is the primary agency investigating the shooting and the investigation is ongoing.
