The revenge killing took place at Fifth Quarter Sports Bar and Pizzeria at 8 p.m. on Saturday as many customers gathered for the East Peoria High School reunion, reported the Peoria Journal Star.
The two victims were pronounced dead at a local hospital shortly after the shooting. The victims are Lori A. Moore, 33, and Lance E. Griffel, 36.
The ex-husband, James A. Moore, 40, stormed into the busy bar and shot the new couple in the head as they attended the class of 1999 reunion. Moments later, the agent pulled out his own concealed weapon and killed Moore with a gunshot to the head.
East Peoria police would only identify him as a law enforcement officer, but believe his presence at the bar “prevented a further tragedy.”
Court records show the woman filed for divorce in March 2013 and it was finalized in May 2013, the newspaper reported.
