Specialty Definition: Drive-by shooting

A drive-by shooting (sometimes referred to merely as a 'drive-by') is a meditation about gun-related violence often associated with gang warfare in the United States, where in an assailant in a moving automobile attempts to injure or murder an intended victim with a gun whilst driving past them.

Frequently, the attempt fails and sometimes results in the injury or death of an unrelated bystander. Normally drive-by shooting happens between Bloods and Crips, an infamous couple of gangs in Los Angeles, California or a group of people that just want to hurt a community.
