Decorated Marine Daniel Cotnoir should be in a doctor's care, said the mother of a teen injured by a bullet Cotnoir allegedly shot into a crowd of youths early Saturday in Lawrence.

But Naida Cumba of Lowell wouldn't say whether she thinks Cotnoir, who was recently named Marine Corps Times' 2005 Marine of the Year, should be able to skip jail or any other sort of punishment entirely.

``I believe that he needs treatment right now, but I'm not going to say anything about whether he needs to go to jail or not,'' said Cumba, whose daughter, Lisette, 15, was hit by a bullet fragment as she stood in the parking lot of the Longhorn Gas Station on Broadway.

Cumba, 39, added: ``I don't think he would have shot at people if he got help before he came back from Iraq.''
