Man arrested in connection with “faculty shooter” indicators present in 3 New Hampshire communities

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

An increased quantity of police officers were positioned at schools within the communities as a result of the signs. A number of faculties initiated lockdowns as a precaution shortly after.

Hanson allegedly placed the indicators around the communities, the Division of Security said, however they determined there isn't any credible threat at the moment.

No other suspects have been charged right now.
