I'd wager that the POS racist democrat KKK operatives keeping them "uppity n*****s in their place" got the jump on drive-by shootings before gangs ever did.I was thinking about drive by shootings (from automobiles) and what group may have started them in the US. My guess is the Italian Mafia made it popular here, long before other street gangs culturally appropriated the tactic.

"Ride-by" shootings? "'GiddyUp-by" shootings? "GitAlong LittleDoggie-by" shootings?Disclaimer ...No automobiles , as well as no picked targets ( as a general rule )
Early on...the James / Younger gang would " hurrah " the town , riding up and down the streets and random shots were fired by them.
This tactic / behavior was used by Quantrell during the War , and adapted for bank robbery , by the James / Younger gang.

Although, one side gets shown more than the other ones ala THE GODFATHER.
