Man Carrying Umbrella in Mall Hunted Down Because Someone Reported it was a Sniper Rifle

 

A Virginia man was tracked by police and then questioned by police for carrying a black umbrella into the Valley View Mall. Security watching the man on cameras in the mall though the umbrella was a assault weapon. The heightened state of hysteria in America these days!

Here's is part of the police account:

"The person shown in the earlier photos from the Valley View Mall incident contacted the Roanoke Police Department and has been interviewed by a detective. The item that was being carried was found to be an umbrella, though it appeared to be a rifle to the citizens that called police. Based on the citizens' accounts and the immediate review of the store video, the Police Department acted with the safety and security for the citizens and patrons of Valley View Mall. In the follow up investigation utilizing video enhancement techniques, media, and social media, we were able to locate the individual from the video and successfully resolve the issue. The Roanoke Police Department would like to thank all the tenants, employees and patrons of Valley View Mall for their cooperation and assistance. We would also like to thank all the citizens who have provided information and assistance in this matter."

Remember kids, IF YOU SEE SOMETHING SAY SOMETHING because umbrellas are dangerous.
