Department of Safety Investigating Discovery of ‘School Shooter’ Signs

Barnstead, New Hampshire – Earlier this morning, the New Hampshire Department of Safety, in collaboration with local law enforcement, began investigating the discovery of multiple signs indicating a "school shooter" in the communities of Barnstead, Epsom and Pittsfield.

While the Department has not received any information indicating there are any imminent threats, state and local law enforcement are present at all schools within these towns at this time.

An increased law enforcement presence will remain at the schools until the situation is fully resolved and it is further determined there are no credible threats.

When additional information is available, another press release will be issued.
