A 19-year-old man has been sentenced to one year in jail after he fired a gun near hikers on the Cowles Mountain trail in San Carlos, a serious incident that occurred on March 30. The young man discharged four shots during a confrontation that began when he and a woman were allegedly chased by a group of men wielding rocks, with numerous other hikers present at the scene.
