Man arrested in connection with “faculty shooter” indicators found in 3 New Hampshire communities

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

An elevated quantity of law enforcement officials have been placed at schools within the communities because of the indicators. Multiple colleges initiated lockdowns as a precaution shortly after.

Hanson allegedly positioned the signs around the communities, the Division of Security mentioned, but they determined there is no credible threat right now.

One such signal was written on a paper plate. The safety division released 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 costs together with false report back to regulation 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.
