Overview
- The Second Amendment Foundation filed the federal suit on behalf of 18-year-old Jack Harrington in the District of New Hampshire.
- The complaint says officials interrogated Harrington on April 24, 2025, then searched his locked truck without consent or a warrant and found no firearm.
- Defendants include Superintendent Jennifer Crawford, Principal James O’Rourke, Vice Principal Brian McGinn, and the school resource officer.
- According to the filing, the episode began after teammates reported Harrington’s bus conversation about a prior traffic stop in which he lawfully stored a handgun.
- The suit seeks unspecified damages and quotes the officer as saying, “We’re going to search it anyway,” while Crawford later wrote there was not a “search” and that administrators acted appropriately.
