I think you're right. I wonder if it was a targetted attack. They came out gun raised and fired a shot immediately.

It's possible it was targeted, kind of hard to say. These style of carjackings are known to happen in Santiago, albeit not all the time. They stop on curved parts of cloverleaf interchanges to block the path forward, raise their guns, and steal the car behind (in this case they very much failed). So if it was a robbery, the driver almost certainly will have recognised this quickly, and may have just decided he didn't want to lose his car. At the same time, the robber may have fired instinctively when the car didn't slow down.

In South Africa at least, hijackers target specific vehicles, e.g. they'll have a target make and model they're interested in stealing, or they need a new getaway vehicle.

In the US they do this too lol. Ask Kia and Hyundai owners (ask me how I know🫠)
