A character is shot by somebody in a moving vehicle, usually either a car or a motorcycle with an armed pillion passenger. The stereotypical example takes place in a "street-level" crime drama and involves somebody firing an assault rifle or submachine gun out of a kerb-crawling car full of Gangbangers. It also shows up quite a bit in older gangster films, where it's probably carried out by The Mafia and/or bootleggers with tommy guns. In fiction (and also unfortunately in real life), due to the challenges of firing a weapon out of a moving vehicle, the fact that the shooters tend to be twenty-year-olds with no firearm training, and their use of inaccurate machine pistols, this frequently involves Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy standards of accuracy, with bullets flying everywhere and innocent bystanders in grave danger of dying as well as or instead of the intended target. On the positive side for the perpetrators, it means that the killers can easily make a quick getaway. This can result in a Multiple Gunshot Death in the case of messier examples. A form of Hit-and-Run Tactics. See also Car Chase Shoot-Out, Vehicular Assault and Horse Archer. |

Arrow: In "Muse of Fire", Oliver Queen's mother is hit by a stray bullet aimed at a mafia boss by female vigilante Huntress who is firing from a motorcycle at the time. Hoping to guide Huntress away from her murderous ways, Oliver tries to show her The Straight and Arrow Path but it backfires as this simply makes her a more efficient killer. | |

While shooting while driving is a part of Grand Theft Auto V, it isn't ever used in a gangland context as such; in Grand Theft Auto Online, however, drive-by's are more plot relevant. In the Lamar Davis "Lowrider" mission series, Lamar tries to use players disguised as Vagos and Ballas to ignite a Mob War between the two gangs. The "Contract" DLC introduces the pay phone hit missions, where Franklin tasks the player with eliminating targets with specific methods, one being using a Ballas gang car and a Micro SMG to kill a pop star. | |

Brannigan. There's a hitman stalking John Wayne's title character. While he's staking out Brannigan's hotel he mistakes Brannigan's partner for him, and starts driving down the street with the barrel of his Broomhandle Mauser sticking out the window. Brannigan happens to see this from his hotel room, smashes the window and opens fire. The hitman switches his Mauser to full-auto and fires back while driving off. Cut to Brannigan getting a roasting from Da Chief of New Scotland Yard for turning the streets of London into a shooting gallery. | |

One of the earliest examples of this found in video games is featured in Quarantine (1994). The player can fire out the side windows of his hover-cab by using an Uzi to destroy vehicles and kill pedestrians on site; this is made available once you enter a Weapon King shop and have the money to buy it, which comes in the form of an upgrade of your cab's hood-mounted machine guns. | |

Saints Row also features drive-by shooting mechanics that are even more robust than GTA's. It's not only easier to shoot while driving in most Saint's Row titles, you also have some missions and diversions where you end up riding shotgun for someone else and defend them from attackers on the streets and in cars. You can also summon Homies to accompany you while you're driving around, in which case they'll automatically shoot at any hostile enemies they see. | |

Used to great effect in The Mandalorian by IG-88 using a speeder bike. Unlike other examples the shooter in this case is an extremely efficient droid assassin who lands every single shot taken exactly where it is intended without harming a single bystander in the process. | |

In the Grand Theft Auto games from Grand Theft Auto III on, the player can dispatch opponents by firing their gun from their car, and in San Andreas, CJ can recruit friendly gangsters to act as gunmen (who will haul themselves out of the car to grab on to the roof if they're on the wrong side). The lack of accuracy is replicated, as doing so requires holding a button to stick your gun out the window, then pressing the fire button, all while maintaining your speed and steering the car at the same time. While driving a motorcycle from Vice City on, you can fire the gun in front of you without holding an additional button, making for an easier experience. Also, one of CJ's many possible girlfriends, Denise might request going on a drive-by as a date activity, coming equipped with a Micro-SMG. Drive-by shooting becomes plot relevant in San Andreas when one such attack leads to the death of CJ's mother, setting the game's story in motion. |

Sons of Anarchy: Tig performs a drive-by shooting on Laroy (usually an ally of the Sons) in broad daylight while he's at a restaurant with his girlfriend because he—falsely—believed Laroy to be responsible for a previous hit on Clay. He misses Laroy and accidentally shoots the girlfriend instead, which both results in an immediate high-speed pursuit by an angry Laroy that Tig only survives with Jax's help, and later the girlfriend's father, a powerful drug kingpin, seeking revenge on both Tig and SAMCRO. | |

On Her Majesty's Secret Service. After Tracy rescues Bond, he has her drive him to the nearest payphone so he can alert London about Blofeld's Evil Plan. Unfortunately, a carload of mooks led by Irma Blunt drives up and opens fire on him before he can make the call. This foreshadows Blofeld and Irma attempting to kill Bond with a drive-by shooting at the end of the movie; this time Bond is in the car with Tracy (whom he'd just married) and the burst kills her instead. | |

Happens to a priest in Lucifer who was involved in a murder/drug case. The shooter missed him however as he was was only trying to scare him, being the true drug dealer and a former protege of the priest. | |

Analyze This: Surviving a drive-by (that kills his old friend) is what gives Paul Vitti the massive nervous breakdown that drives the main plot. | |

The Wire: Subverted and subjected to a Take That! in the fifth season. During one attack on a rival gang, one member of the Stanfield gang convinces Snoop to do a drive by because of how cool it looked in Boyz n the Hood, (obviously not having learned the intended message) and they promptly miss all the targets. Snoop manages to kill only a single target because she gets out of the car, carefully aims, and shoots one member of the fleeing gang. In season 3, a few members of Avon Barksdale's gang plot an ambush on a Stanfield corner involving a drive by, and to try to counter the loss of accuracy that is typical with drive bys, the guys in the car - Country, Bernard and Chipper - are only going to attack once Cutty and Slim Charles have struck the Stanfield gang and had them distracted. Gerard and Chipper, however, are far too eager for glory and decide to attack without waiting for the signal and to disregard all the tactics they had been told to use, including keeping their driver out of the line of fire. Unbeknownst to them, a lookout for the Stanfield gang spots them before they even try to pull it off, so the gang is armed and ready when their car goes by. The result is that Country and Chipper are killed, while Cutty, Slim Charles and Bernard barely make it out alive. Both Snoop and Chris each manage to pull off one successfully in the third season. Snoop's involves riding by Poot's corner on a motorcycle, stopping there, and then opening fire on Poot with a handgun before riding off, only succeeding in killing Rico, the Barksdale soldier accompanying Poot. Chris's is an episode later, when, suspecting that a woman named Devonne has seduced Marlo as a trap, he notices a suspicious car at the meeting place. Chris has his driver pull up alongside the other vehicle, at which point Chris puts a shotgun shell through the window, wounding Avon and killing a henchman named Tater, before driving off. |

Hightown: In the Season 3 opener a young black woman, Little Sal, is murdered by two tattooed White Gangbangers after they drive up acting like they just want information on buying drugs, then one guns her down with a headshot from the car (though after several misses). It turns out they come from a rival gang and murdered her in a fight over the local drug trade. Osito is shot a few episodes later by the same pair, although he's armed as well and so returns fire, killing one, but nonetheless gets gravely wounded. |

In the Italian film Gomorrah, a haute couture tailor is secretly advising a Chinese garment factory that's competing with Camorra-controlled firms. He's smuggled to and from the factory in a car, but apparently this ruse is detected because it's ambushed in a drive-by motorcycle shooting. | |

The Bloods retaliate by performing a hit and run on Jimmy's house. The front porch and living room are sprayed with bullets, but no casualties as his parents had just gone out. | |

In Miss Meadows, it is eventually revealed that the source of Miss Meadows trauma was a wedding in which she was a flower girl where the entire bridal party, except her, was wiped out by a drive-by shooting, including her mother. Why they were targeted isn't revealed (assuming this wasn't accidental). | |
