The funniest thing just happened in Columbia, South Carolina.

An active-shooter warning went out to the campus of the University of South Carolina after people thought a guy carrying an umbrella had a rifle (probably one of those mega-death assault varieties!).

They shut down the school because of a young man with an UMBRELLA.

Nancy Mace called him an "alleged school shooter" because he was carrying his umbrella sort of rifle-like.

At least the dude wasn't swarmed by cops or shot by a mistaken good Samaritan.

As a matter of fact, the guy seemed to be truly tickled by the whole ordeal.

Okay, yeah. It's hilarious.

Next time, maybe the young man will consider wearing a poncho instead.
