    It doesn’t seem like these guys were firing accurately - I doubt that “1 dead, 3 injured” was their specific intent.

      Thats what gets me though, If you’re convinced you need to shoot someone and you do so sloppily, they have a higher chance of living and you have a higher chance of getting caught. If your target lives you likely become a target yourself, or at best now theres a firsthand witness and you can be put away much longer. Its similarly bad for you if you hit bystanders. It’s like popping a zit with a hammer.

        I presume this is gang warfare and the intent is to attack the enemy gang rather than to kill someone in particular. Shooting bystanders does seem to get a lot more police attention than shooting other gang members, but maybe this was a group of enemy gang members.
