Man Shot in Car Dies in Hospital

A man is dead after being shot while sitting in his car overnight.

Police say the 29-year-old man was sitting in the driver's seat of his vehicle just before 1 a.m. on the 2400-block of Bancroft Street in North Philadelphia when a gunman walked up and opened fire.

The victim was hit in the head, chest and neck. A passenger in the car drove the man to Temple Hospital where he was pronounced dead a short time later, according to authorities.

We know that at least eight shots were fired from a semi-automatic weapon," Chief Inspector Scott Small said.

Police have not released a motive or description of the shooter.
