BiometricUpdate.com 9/1/2023 News Fast Screening of Gunshot Residue Aims to Modernize Practice USA: Innovation in forensic science is critical to the swift and equitable administration of justice. Analysis of gunshot residue (GSR) can provide valuable investigative information in cases involving firearms, such as homicides, mass shootings, terrorism, suicides, and accidental shootings. But when it comes to the traditional methods of GSR detection, the field has struggled with challenges regarding the speed of analysis, the accuracy of results, and the applicability to new ammunition types. There is, consequently, a critical need to develop methods that can shorten residue testing time and increase certainty in order to protect the public and help investigators make informed decisions based on reliable data. Establishing methods for GSR analysis that have demonstrable error rates is challenging. The residue comprises organic components, which arise from the propellant and lubricant; and inorganic components, which arise from the primer, bullet, and cartridge casing. However, current methods using scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy only analyze the inorganic components, require expensive laboratory instrumentation, and require hours to scan a single sample.
