destruction Posted August 15 Report Share Posted August 15 Decorated Marine opened fire on noisy crowdBy Associated PressSunday, August 14, 2005 - Updated: 04:55 PM ESTLAWRENCE, Mass. - A Lawrence man who was named ``Marine of the Year'' last month is charged with firing a shotgun at a crowd of revelers outside his second-floor apartment, wounding two people. Thirty-three-year-old Daniel Cotnoir allegedly fired a bullet at the crowd only minutes after he called police to complain about the noise they were making as they left a nearby nightclub and restaurant early Saturday. The Lawrence Eagle-Tribune reports that a 15-year-old girl and a 20-year-old man were injured by bullet fragments from the shooting. Cotnoir was arrested and held on $100,000 bail. He was to be arraigned tomorrow on attempted murder charges. Last month, the Marine Corps Times presented Cotnoir with its annual Marine of the Year award. He beat out 180,000 other candidates for the honor. Cotnoir, now a Marine reservist, was a military mortician in Iraq. During his deployment last year, he was responsible for preparing soldiers for open-casket funerals.http://news.bostonherald.com/localRegional/view.bg?articleid=98031 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
