Almost certainly another hoax call, or some poor dude carrying a large umbrella.

There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

Road games are going to be fun for the Gamecocks this season.

Free umbrellas for the first 10,000 fans!

To be fair, it is one of those scary, black AR-style (anti-rain) umbrellas.

But is it an umbrella with a high capacity magazine? An umbrella of war?

So a white male can not walk around anymore with an umbrella. I thought this was America.

I would guess that when the initial report went out, people started looking out the windows for the shooter and this poor dude was just walking along right in the area where the shooter was reported to be.

TBF, The Penguin has been known to carry a highly weaponized umbrella. And he's a major super-villain.

They called in on an umbrella, but the secret service let a man with a gun, seen by hundreds, shoot the President? Wow.

He was obviously a Soviet agent looking to stab someone with the ricin-laced tip of his umbrella.

We clearly need reasonable, common sense umbrella control legislation passed asap

To be fair, the constitution does not reference open-carry umbrellas. It is a State issue.

Rather than the description of the 'active shooter', I'd really like to know the description of the person(s) who called in the 'threat'.

Oh that's easy, it was the blue hair 250 pound chick, with black funky glasses from the 70's who mistook a umbrella for one of those scary AR-15 assault rifles that claim millions of lives each day. Fata**wanted her 15 minutes of fame and got it.

Looks like "Patriot Broad" posted a fake alert re: black male. Took a few seconds to check Carolina Alert message history, which instead shows:
