U.S. firearm offense sentencing

Overview

In Missouri, Steven M. Harris was sentenced to 25 years in prison for his role in a March 2025 shooting in downtown Columbia. Harris pleaded guilty to charges including unlawful use of a weapon, armed criminal action, and stealing a gun after pursuing a vehicle that struck him and firing a stolen weapon. His sentence consists of concurrent 15-year and 10-year terms running consecutively to a previous 10-year sentence.

Separately, in Montana, Shawn Ryan Cowan received a 24-month prison sentence and three years of supervised release for unlawful possession of a firearm. A jury convicted Cowan after investigators found a cache of pistols, rifles, and a shotgun at his home. Cowan, a registered violent offender, had contested the validity of his prior convictions during the proceedings.
