An American and a Canadian hiker have been attacked while walking in the Jacumba Mountains Wilderness, California, near the southern border with Mexico. The US citizen was shot and wounded in the leg and both men were robbed of their cell phones and backpacks.
They were part of a group of hiking on a scenic trail when they were approached by two armed individuals who summoned them. When they refused to move, the assailants fired a volley of shots toward them, hitting one man in the leg.
