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

BARNSTEAD, N.H. -- A man was arrested Friday after multiple signs saying "faculty shooter" were found in Barnstead, Epsom, and Pittsfield, New Hampshire, the state's Division of Security introduced. Guy Hanson, 61, of Pittsfield, faces a number of charges. 

An elevated amount of law enforcement officials had been positioned at schools within the communities on account of the signs. Multiple faculties initiated lockdowns as a precaution shortly after.

Hanson allegedly positioned the indicators around the communities, the Department of Security said, but they determined there is no such thing as a credible menace presently.

One such signal was written on a paper plate. The safety division launched a photograph of the plate but blurred a part of it "to protect the integrity of the investigation." 

Hanson was arrested on a felony cost of criminal threatening and three misdemeanor fees together with false report to legislation enforcement, false public alarm and criminal threatening. He's being held in Merrimack County Jail pending a hearing scheduled for Tuesday.

No other suspects have been charged at this time.
