Police say a man was shot and killed while sitting in his car outside a friend's house in South Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA - Police say two men were killed in a pair of overnight shootings in Philadelphia on Tuesday, including a man who collapsed inside a friend's house after being shot in the head while sitting in his car.

Officers from the Philadelphia Police Department were called to the 2100 block of Lambert Street around 11:30 p.m. for reports of a shooting. 

Chief Inspector Scott Small said officers and paramedics found a trail of blood leading into a home where a 36-year-old man had collapsed from multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to Temple Hospital where he died just after midnight. 

Investigators believe the 36-year-old victim was sitting in the driver's seat of a Chrystler 300 parked outside of a friend's house when a shooter fired at least 10 shots at the car.
