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

BARNSTEAD, N.H. -- A person was arrested Friday after multiple signs saying "school shooter" had been found in Barnstead, Epsom, and Pittsfield, New Hampshire, the state's Department of Security introduced. Man Hanson, 61, of Pittsfield, faces multiple fees. 

An elevated quantity of law enforcement officials were positioned at schools within the communities on account of the signs. A number of colleges initiated lockdowns as a precaution shortly after.

Hanson allegedly positioned the indicators around the communities, the Division of Safety mentioned, but they determined there isn't any credible risk presently.

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

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

No different suspects have been charged at this time.
