You could quite literally weaponize anything, Georgi Markov was killed when an assassin turned an umbrella into a weapon that injected ricin into his body. Many people have also made small scale firearms out of umbrellas in attempts to make a more discreet assassination.
First, urban legend. Second, this has been attributed to multiple cities in the U.S. and Europe with NYC the most common one. Third, all major US news agencies dropped the story and removed it from there websites after realizing its obsurdity. The claims said the man was shot between 15-50 times.
