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

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

An increased amount of police officers were placed at faculties within the communities on account of the indicators. Multiple schools initiated lockdowns as a precaution shortly after.

Hanson allegedly placed the indicators across the communities, the Department of Safety stated, but they determined there isn't any credible threat presently.

One such signal was written on a paper plate. The security department launched a photograph of the plate however blurred a part of it "to protect the integrity of the investigation." 

Hanson was arrested on a felony charge of felony threatening and three misdemeanor costs including false report to legislation enforcement, false public alarm and legal threatening. He's being held in Merrimack County Jail pending a hearing scheduled for Tuesday.

No other suspects have been charged at the moment.
