LINCOLN SQUARE — A car crashed into a dentist office in Lincoln Square early Friday after someone began firing shots in the area, police said.
The driver of the 2019 Volkswagan Passat was headed east in the 2400 block of West Foster Avenue around 2:30 a.m. when someone fired shots nearby, police said.
The car then veered and crashed into the front doors of Four Seasons Dental Studio at 2472 W. Foster Ave. The office is part of a commercial and residential building at the northeast corner of Lincoln and Foster avenues.
