Even an extreme example -- The technology to build an automated drone with a camera for targeting and a gun on a gimbal and deploy it to do a mass-shooting -- all exists today. All it would take is for some madman to pick the pieces up and assemble them. In fact, I'd be willing to bet $100 that we'll actually see some kind of tragedy to that effect in the USA within the next 5 years. The technology cats are very quickly getting out of the bags.

Many airsoft players are mounting fully automatic airsoft rifles on drones and some Russian dude already put a glock on a 1st gen DJI phantom years ago. My guess is a big thing stopping such an attack from happening is that the people doing these attacks are usually not well educated, so they don't have the arduino-starter-kit level of electronics knowledge required to pull it off.

Mental instability happens on all portions of the education and intelligence spectrum though - so if that's what we're banking on we're going to have a very rude awakening.

Your example is not extreme. Off-the-shelf "drone bombers" have already been used in the Middle East.
