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

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

An increased quantity of police officers have been positioned at faculties in the communities because of the indicators. Multiple schools initiated lockdowns as a precaution shortly after.

Hanson allegedly placed the indicators around the communities, the Department of Security mentioned, however they determined there isn't a credible risk presently.
