Man arrested in reference to “school shooter” indicators found in 3 New Hampshire communities

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

An elevated quantity of cops had been positioned at schools within the communities on account of the indicators. A number of schools initiated lockdowns as a precaution shortly after.

Hanson allegedly positioned the indicators across the communities, the Division of Security stated, however they determined there isn't a credible threat right now.

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

Hanson was arrested on a felony cost of felony threatening and three misdemeanor costs including false report to law 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 at the moment.
