Man arrested in reference to “school shooter” indicators present in 3 New Hampshire communities

BARNSTEAD, N.H. -- A man was arrested Friday after a number of signs saying "faculty shooter" were found in Barnstead, Epsom, and Pittsfield, New Hampshire, the state's Division of Security introduced. Guy Hanson, 61, of Pittsfield, faces multiple fees. 

An increased quantity of police officers had been placed at colleges within the communities because of the signs. Multiple schools initiated lockdowns as a precaution shortly after.

Hanson allegedly placed the signs across the communities, the Division of Safety mentioned, however they determined there isn't any credible threat right now.

One such signal was written on a paper plate. The protection division released a photograph of the plate but blurred a part of it "to guard the integrity of the investigation." 

Hanson was arrested on a felony charge of criminal threatening and three misdemeanor fees together with false report back to law enforcement, false public alarm and prison threatening. He is being held in Merrimack County Jail pending a hearing scheduled for Tuesday.

No other suspects have been charged right now.
