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.

    Most of them are, yeah. When you read through this article, you’ll note that they’re mostly not dealing with end users; they’re selling to other people that are selling to end users. Distribution–moving in bulk–is where you’re making money.

      So back to “doing it wrong.” You can sell to them too and mark it up, but you have to at least move a little bit of weight, or you’re doing it wrong. Drugs are kinda just a really effective MLM at the end of the day, it’s better if you can get a couple guys to flip it for you.
