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

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

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

Hanson allegedly positioned the signs around the communities, the Division of Security stated, however they determined there isn't a credible menace at this time.

One such sign was written on a paper plate. The protection department released a photograph of the plate but blurred a part of it "to protect the integrity of the investigation." 

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

No other suspects have been charged presently.
