Foreshadowing is a dramatic device in which an important plot point is mentioned earlier in the story to return later in a sinificant way. This is said by Hermione Granger in A Very Potter Musical.
Snape: A person can however be a horcrux.
Harry: What's a horcrux?
Snape: I'm no even going to tell you Harry, you'll find out soon enough.
You find out later, Snape knew there were horcruxes concerning Harry. This exemplifies foreshadowing.

Mentioning a gun at the beginning of the story and not shooting the gun until the stroy's end is not foreshadowing, it's fucking procrastination.

A twisted cousin of foreshadowing and preshadowing but closer to foreshadowing
Foreshadowing episode one occurs specifically with a flashback of events before a story set by a character later in the story, more so in a TV show or a movie, that contains subtle hints to events already shown at an early point of the story, set later than the events of the flashback.
As the flashback is set further in the past, the subtle hints count as a foreshadowing
