Shell-type supernova remnants (SNRs) accelerate particles at the shock frontbetween the expanding remnant and the swept-up interstellar medium. If theseparticles include protons and nuclei, very-high-energy gamma-ray emission mayresult from the decay of pions produced in interactions between cosmic rays andthe local insterstellar medium. For SNRs that are interacting with a nearbymolecular cloud, such as IC 443, the enhanced matter density provides a targetmedium that can amplify the gamma-ray emission. IC 443 also contains the pulsarwind nebula (PWN) CXOU J061705.3+222127. PWNe are the most plentiful galacticsources of very-high-energy gamma rays, which are produced in the shock formedat the collision of the pulsar wind with the ambient medium.  VERITAS is an array of four 12-m telescopes dedicated to gamma-ray astronomyin the energy band above 100 GeV. Located on Mt. Hopkins in southern Arizona,VERITAS operated during the 2006-2007 season in 2-, 3-, and 4-telescopeobservation modes. In this talk, results from three-telescope observations ofthe composite supernova remnant IC 443 during the 2006-2007 season arediscussed.
