A 27-year-old man was killed and 24 other people were shot after gunfire erupted early Sunday morning in Akron, Ohio, during what a police official said was a big birthday party.

Officers responded to 911 calls shortly after midnight, reporting shots fired and multiple victims struck in the area of Kelly Ave. and 8th Ave., according to a statement from the city’s mayor and police chief.

The shooting took place during a “large birthday party” that earlier in the night had more than 200 people in attendance, Akron Police Chief Brian Harding said in a Sunday evening news conference.

In the shooting’s aftermath, authorities found the scene “littered” with spent shell casings that stretched down a whole block, the police chief said.

    It’s a catch-all category on your 1040 for ‘income from illegal sources’. I do know that you can’t take deductions for business expenses related to illegally gained income though, so you don’t get any kind of write-offs or deductions. (E.g., you can’t depreciate any of the durable equipment that you need to buy to conduct your illegal business, you can’t claim travel expenses, etc.) Plus, I think that it gets counted as ‘self-employed’ income, which means that you have to pay the full share of social security and medicare/medicaid that would normally be covered by an employer.

    It’s pretty simple to do, honestly. But I don’t know if that kind of declaration can be turned over to another three-letter agency to start a criminal investigation into you, so ???

      See that’s what I meant by “causing other problems,” the whole “investigation by other agencies” thing that, yes, they totally do.
