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

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

An increased amount of police officers have been positioned at faculties within the communities as a result of the indicators. A number of faculties initiated lockdowns as a precaution shortly after.
