Man arrested in connection with “school shooter” signs present 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 Division of Safety introduced. Guy Hanson, 61, of Pittsfield, faces a number of charges. 

An elevated amount of police officers have been positioned at faculties in the communities on account of the signs. Multiple faculties initiated lockdowns as a precaution shortly after.

Hanson allegedly positioned the indicators across the communities, the Department of Security stated, however they decided there is no such thing as a credible threat at this time.

One such sign was written on a paper plate. The security division released a photograph 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 charges 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 presently.
