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

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

An elevated quantity of law enforcement officials have been placed at faculties in the communities on account of the signs. A number of faculties initiated lockdowns as a precaution shortly after.

Hanson allegedly placed the signs across the communities, the Division of Security stated, but they determined there isn't a credible threat at the moment.

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

Hanson was arrested on a felony cost of prison threatening and three misdemeanor prices including 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 different suspects have been charged at this time.
