"Fitzsimmons, the North Andover officer, faces one charge of assault with a dangerous weapon stemming from an incident that occurred on June 30. An armed confrontation took place in Fitzsimmons's home after some of her colleagues arrived there to serve her a restraining order filed by her fiancé. According to a police report, Fitzsimmons attempted to shoot one of the other officers and was subsequently shot in the chest by a colleague."
"Lawyers for a North Andover police officer who was shot by a colleague earlier this year are asking the state's highest court to release her from jail. In a recent court filing, lawyers for Kelsey Fitzsimmons sharply criticized an Essex Superior Court judge's handling of the case, arguing that she caused "a completely improper nightmare scenario" by ordering Fitzsimmons to return to jail."
Kelsey Fitzsimmons, a North Andover officer, faces an assault charge from a June 30 confrontation as colleagues served a restraining order. A police report says she attempted to shoot another officer and was shot by a colleague. Fitzsimmons and her lawyers say she grabbed a gun to attempt suicide; NAPD lacks body cameras. She was released with conditions including alcohol testing but was ordered back to jail after she said the testing device caused pain and impeded healing. A judge cited a history of aggressive behavior while intoxicated and required monitoring. Lawyers have asked the state's high court to free her.
