driveby
Car window attack
A driveby is a shooting from a moving vehicle, typically gang-related: Two teenagers were killed in a driveby last night.
The term extends to any quick, passing action—especially a brief, dismissive comment online: He left a driveby insult and never responded to replies.
As an adjective, driveby describes something done hastily or superficially: driveby journalism, driveby diagnosis.
