Gun battle or firefight
Shootout ▸ Facts ▸ Comments ▸ News ▸ Videos
A shootout, also called a firefight or gunfight, is a gun battle between armed groups. A shootout often, but not always, pits law enforcement against criminal groups; it can also involve two groups outside of law enforcement, such as rival gangs. A military term for a shootout in a combat situation would always be considered a battle, rather than a shootout. Shootouts are often portrayed in action films and Western films.
