Firearm residue backs claim accused shot man, court hears

Firearm residue taken from the face, hands, and clothing of a man accused of a gun attack in Limerick strongly supported the suggestion that he was the person involved, a court heard.

Ian Horgan, aged 30, with an address at Lenihan Avenue, Prospect, Limerick, denies having a shotgun with intent to endanger life at Byrne Avenue, Prospect, on December 12, 2013.

Limerick Circuit Court has been told that Seán Finnan, then aged 26, was shot and wounded when he went to the front door of his house to smoke a cigarette.
