Man arrested in connection with “college shooter” signs present in 3 New Hampshire communities

BARNSTEAD, N.H. -- A man was arrested Friday after a number of signs saying "school shooter" have been present in Barnstead, Epsom, and Pittsfield, New Hampshire, the state's Department of Security introduced. Man Hanson, 61, of Pittsfield, faces multiple prices. 

An elevated quantity of cops have been placed at schools in the communities on account of the signs. Multiple schools initiated lockdowns as a precaution shortly after.

Hanson allegedly positioned the signs across the communities, the Department of Security said, however they determined there isn't a credible risk right now.

One such signal was written on a paper plate. The safety department 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 cost of prison threatening and three misdemeanor expenses together with false report to regulation enforcement, false public alarm and legal threatening. He's being held in Merrimack County Jail pending a hearing scheduled for Tuesday.
