Name That Plant!!!

We have a mystery bush / tree folks. It's by the driveway and we were going to remove it and then bam, it fruited. It never did that before. So now I want to know what it is before I decide to rip it out. Is it edible, poisonous, invasive (OK I KNOW it's kind of invasive), worth taking some cuttings for another part of the yard?

All I know is that it's hardy to zone 5/6a, has berries, and some branches are almost 10 feet tall.

Guesses?

Based on the leaves, it almost looks like a gooseberry bush.

Mulberry! They self-seed like crazy.
