There are chemicals that are present in the primer of a firearm, and in burning gunpowder. When a gun is fired, those chemicals are expelled in a puff of the hot gasses that are pushing the bullet. A laboratory examination of clothing can reveal the presence (or absence) of those chemicals on a person's clothing or skin.

How can someones clothing show that they have fired a gun?
When a gun fires, the primer and burning gunpowder eject residue. That residue is chemically like very few things OTHER than gunshot residue (GSR) If your clothes test positive for GSR, it is a pretty safe bet you were very close to a gun that was fired.
