Crossword Genius

Provide information about sound of gunshot (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

report

I believe this clue is a triple definition!

'provide information about' is the first definition.
(as in a reporting a crime)

'sound' is the second definition.
(report is a kind of sound)

'of' acts as a link.

'gunshot' is the third definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for report that I've seen before include "Make a complaint about (someone)" , "Statement of fact" , "Give an account" , "Account, story" , "Porter (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
