The Adelaide District Court has been told the 11-year-old son of a member of the Finks Motorcycle Club was shot in the leg as part of an escalating war between gangs.
Arron James Cluse, 23, is on trial charged with aggravated serious criminal trespass and two aggravated counts of endangering life.
He is accused of storming into the Semaphore home of Finks gang member Mark Sandery in October 2011, shooting Sandery’s son twice in the leg and narrowly missing the boy’s brother with two other shots.
Prosecutor Sandi McDonald told the court Cluse was a nominee of the Hells Angels, a group effectively at war with the Finks.
She said Sandery was not home but there had been a clear plan to terrorise his family.
The court was told glass fragments allegedly from the home were found in Cluse’s car and on a balaclava found in Cluse’s bedroom that allegedly also had his DNA on it.
