Gunman in Atlanta shootings is charged with murder in killing of 8 people

tmpcb202475-918d-40fe-9364-2cd98dd6fb17-jpg

The man accused of killing eight people at three massage parlors in an Atlanta-area shooting was charged with murder on Wednesday. Police captured Georgia resident Robert Aaron Long after a manhunt on Tuesday night after the attacks at the massage parlors, which occurred within a short period of time and within close proximity. Eight people were killed and others were injured in the shootings. 

Cherokee County Sheriff Frank Reynolds told reporters Wednesday that Long, 21, went on the shooting spree only hours after he obtained his 9mm handgun. He also said Long, who was arrested in Crisp County 150 miles south of Atlanta, has confessed to the attacks and said they were not racially motivated but admitted a sex addiction. “During his interview, he gave no indicators that this was racially motivated,” Reynolds said “We asked him that specifically and the answer was no.” Authorities added that sex addiction played a role in the shootings because Long often frequented massage parlors and wanted to eradicate a behavioral habit he was trying to break.” Six of the eight victims were of Asian descent and seven were women, details that spurred speculation that the attacks may be related to a wave of violence against Asian Americans in the United States over the past year related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Long is scheduled to be arraigned on murder charges Thursday. It wasn’t immediately known whether the handgun used in the crimes was obtained legally.

IRS extends deadline for tax return filing to May 17

tmp21a3ff78-ee8d-46f2-987e-fe029653f9b6-jpg

The Internal Revenue Service announced on Wednesday that they have pushed back the date by which Americans must file their federal tax returns. The new filing and payment deadline is May 17, more than a month later than the traditional April 15 date.

IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig said: “This continues to be a tough time for many people, and the IRS wants to continue to do everything possible to help taxpayers navigate the unusual circumstances related to the pandemic, while also working on important tax administration responsibilities. Even with the new deadline, we urge taxpayers to consider filing as soon as possible, especially those who are owed refunds. Filing electronically with direct deposit is the quickest way to get refunds, and it can help some taxpayers more quickly receive any remaining stimulus payments they may be entitled to.”

The extension also comes as the IRS handles an increasingly burdensome tax season complicated by changes implemented in the $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill signed into law last week. Under that law, filers were given a tax exemption on up to $10,200 of unemployment benefits. This year’s forms will also include ways for people to report missing stimulus benefits from last year. In some cases, people may have to refile their returns using new forms.

tmp681bccee-40bb-42c7-814b-a7acb81dddf0-jpg

The Arizona Cardinals agreed to a one-year contract with longtime Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green on Wednesday. Green’s one-year pact includes $6 million in guarantees, but he can earn more than $2 million in incentives.

The 32-year-old Green, a seven-time Pro Bowl selection, had five-consecutive seasons with at least 1,000 receiving yards to start his career. He has had just one season with at least 1,000 yards since 2015. Green ranks second in Bengals history with 649 catches for 9,430 receiving yards and 65 scores in 127 appearances. Former Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson is the franchise leader in each of those three categories.
