Man arrested in reference to “faculty shooter” signs found in 3 New Hampshire communities

BARNSTEAD, N.H. -- A person was arrested Friday after a number of indicators saying "faculty shooter" were present in Barnstead, Epsom, and Pittsfield, New Hampshire, the state's Division of Security announced. Man Hanson, 61, of Pittsfield, faces multiple costs. 

An elevated quantity of police officers have been positioned at schools within the communities on account of the signs. Multiple colleges initiated lockdowns as a precaution shortly after.

Hanson allegedly positioned the signs around the communities, the Division of Security stated, however they decided there is no such thing as a credible risk at the moment.

One such signal was written on a paper plate. The protection division launched a photo 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 charges including false report back to regulation enforcement, false public alarm and legal threatening. He is being held in Merrimack County Jail pending a hearing scheduled for Tuesday.

No different suspects have been charged at this time.
