Depends, whatever I feel is justified at the time.
Maybe just hog the road if I'm in front, maybe follow too closely if I am behind. FWIW any white van that is aware of a shooting needs to stop. Stop and let the police talk to them. Otherwise, they are asking for it, as far as I am concerned.

You can tell they are leaving the scene if you know there is a scene. If I see or hear hear the shot and see the van pull out in a hurry, I'm following. So sorry that frightens you. It's going to happen. And I'm just a mild mannered housewife...

I know some folks that would shoot out the tires.

Doesn't "frighten" me, just strikes me as moronic.

Unless you see someone SHOOT out of the van, or someone with a rifle climb into the van you haven't the foggiest idea whether the guy in the van is aware there was a shooting at all. Could have Van Halen blasting at max decibels inside.

And I see people in the routine of daily life peeling out, driving fast, etc. all the time.

If I saw someone SHOOT out of a van, I'd like to think I'd ram it. I've never been in a remotely similar situation so I honestly can't guarantee I would. I suspect a lot of the armchair heroes on FR speculating what they would do on this board wouldn't end up doing what they say they would when the chips are down.
