Shoppers at New York state’s largest mall were thrown into panic on Thursday after a man carrying an umbrella sparked fears of an active shooter, police said.
The scare began around 3:20 p.m. when 911 calls flooded in about a man carrying what appeared to be an AR-15-style rifle inside the Destiny USA shopping and entertainment complex in Syracuse.
A second caller said the suspect slung the “weapon” on his shoulder and appeared to cock it.
Within minutes, officers swarmed the area, backed by drones and a sheriff’s helicopter on standby.

Looks more like a sword
Well, a samurai sword is the AR15 of 16th century Japan.
Well it’s black so it must be an assault weapon.
Samurai assault umbrella
What brand is that?
Very eye catching obviously.
Escape From Guantanamo Bay movie has the two hapless guys mistaken for terrorists after a woman on a plane screams.
Then everything seems to tie in with terrorism.

Looks like the guy carrying it, when caught, probably pointed to his brother,
“he made me do it!”

Liz Warren was heard to say “Nobody needs in umbrella with a handle that long!”

This one’s my rifle,
I called it a gun.
This one’s for fighting,
And this one’s for fun.
Soviet spy tactic:
“The assassination of Bulgarian dissident writer Georgi Markov in 1978 is the most famous incident of a Soviet-era spy using a poisoned umbrella.
The device, sometimes called the “Bulgarian umbrella,” was used by the Bulgarian secret service (DS), with assistance from the Soviet KGB, to eliminate a vocal critic of the communist regime.”
On September 7, 1978, while waiting for a bus on Waterloo Bridge in London, Markov felt a sharp sting in his right thigh. He saw a man behind him who dropped an umbrella, apologized in a foreign accent, and then hailed a taxi and left.
The attacker used a specially modified umbrella to fire a tiny, pinhead-sized pellet into Markov’s leg. The pellet was made of a platinum-iridium alloy and had two tiny cavities containing the poison, ricin. The ricin was sealed with a sugary substance that melted at body temperature, releasing the deadly toxin into Markov’s bloodstream.
Markov became gravely ill and died four days later in a hospital. An autopsy revealed the cause of death was ricin poisoning, confirming the assassination plot.
Looks like a Samurai sword.
Looking like semi fully automatic AR umbrella to me.
Samurai-type hilt handle

Tactical umbrella.
