Man arrested in reference to “faculty shooter” signs found in 3 New Hampshire communities

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

An elevated quantity of police officers had been placed at faculties in the communities as a result of the signs. Multiple faculties initiated lockdowns as a precaution shortly after.

Hanson allegedly positioned the signs around the communities, the Division of Safety mentioned, but they decided there isn't a credible risk at the moment.

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

Hanson was arrested on a felony cost of prison threatening and three misdemeanor costs together with false report back to regulation enforcement, false public alarm and prison threatening. He's being held in Merrimack County Jail pending a hearing scheduled for Tuesday.

No other suspects have been charged at this time.
