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

BARNSTEAD, N.H. -- A person was arrested Friday after multiple indicators saying "college shooter" have been present in Barnstead, Epsom, and Pittsfield, New Hampshire, the state's Department of Security introduced. Guy Hanson, 61, of Pittsfield, faces multiple charges. 

An elevated amount of law enforcement officials had been placed at faculties within the communities as a result of the indicators. A number of schools initiated lockdowns as a precaution shortly after.

Hanson allegedly positioned the indicators across the communities, the Department of Security mentioned, but they determined there is no credible threat at the moment.

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

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

No different suspects have been charged presently.
