Condolences offered for US woman shot to death

BOONTON, New Jersey (AP) — Condolences are pouring in for a Pakistani-born woman who was gunned down while she walked along a New Jersey street with her son and husband, who has admitted plotting the killing with another woman.

Kashif Parvaiz, a Pakistani-American, was wounded in the shooting that killed his 27-year-old wife, Nazish Noorani. They were walking with their 3-year-old in Boonton when shots rang out Tuesday night. The boy was unharmed. The couple's 5-year-old son was with relatives.

A website has been set up to help the children. Writers on its guestbook tell of difficulty making sense of what happened and call her death "senseless and stupid."

Parvaiz and Antoinette Stephen of Billerica, Massachusetts, are charged in the case. Authorities say they did not know whether he had a lawyer. An attorney for Stephen did not return a call seeking comment.
