Victim Remembered: A walk and vigil in remembrance of a woman fatally shot on a Boonton street last August was held Sunday at the town's Jam-E-Masjid Islamic Center. The multidenominational event also included a forum on domestic violence. "Boonton was devastated by the murder of our neighbor Nazish Noorani in August," the Rev. Laurie Wurm, rector of St. John's Episcopal Church said. "Our community needed to do something so the horror of that night won't have the final word in our town and in this young woman's life." The forum featured local religious leaders from numerous faiths as well as Morris County Prosecutor Robert A. Bianchi, who offered information on domestic violence prevention. Nazish Noorani was shot and killed in an plot allegedly concocted by her husband, Kashif Parvaiz.

Chambers School, which serves children with disabilities.Lanza said the new playground will offer "social and emotional support [for] children with disabilities and their families."
