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

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

An increased quantity of law enforcement officials were placed at faculties within the communities because of the signs. A number of faculties initiated lockdowns as a precaution shortly after.

Hanson allegedly placed the signs across the communities, the Division of Safety said, but they decided there isn't a credible threat presently.

One such signal was written on a paper plate. The security division released a photo of the plate but blurred a part of it "to protect the integrity of the investigation." 

Hanson was arrested on a felony charge of legal threatening and three misdemeanor expenses together with false report back to legislation 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 the moment.
