Shooting leads to car crashing into building in Irving Park
CHICAGO (CBS) – Chicago police are investigating after a shooting led to a car crashing into a building in Irving Park Saturday morning.
The shooting happened around 10:11 a.m. in the 4500 block of West Irving Park Road.
Police say two drivers were in their cars heading eastbound on Irving Park Road when shots were fired from both vehicles, causing one of the cars to crash into a building.
Witnesses said it appeared the drivers were shooting at each other. The gunfire continued even with the car partially inside the building.
Both drivers fled the scene.
The office - a pharmaceutical consulting firm - was riddled with as many as five bullet holes. The owner, Steven Bennett, recovered one of those bullets.
His office was vacant at the time. While the situation is frustrating, he acknowledges it could have been a whole lot worse.
"This is my zen spot, this is my business, this is my gym," Bennett said. "It's my command central, and you could hear what's going on. We may have structural issues that we have to deal with now with architects."
No injuries were reported, and no arrests were made.
Area Five detectives are investigating.
