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

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

An elevated quantity of police officers were placed at faculties in the communities on account of the indicators. Multiple faculties initiated lockdowns as a precaution shortly after.

Hanson allegedly placed the signs across the communities, the Department of Safety said, but they determined there is no such thing as a credible risk presently.

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

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

No different suspects have been charged right now.
