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.
