"In that horrible moment, I didn't want to live after my whole world was turned upside down, in the matter of a 10 second conversation due to someone alleging horrible, untrue things."
"I am facing felony charges for a halfhearted attempt to take my own life."
"I especially would never hurt my friend. I have struggled with postpartum depression but never threatened my son."
Kelsey Fitzsimmons, a North Andover police officer, released a statement addressing her struggles with postpartum depression following an incident where a colleague shot her. She recounts being confronted by officers about a restraining order filed by her fiancé, which left her feeling hopeless. Fitzsimmons insists she never threatened anyone with a firearm and describes the shooting as a result of a misunderstanding. Facing serious legal charges, she attributes her mental health battles to traumatic experiences while serving in law enforcement, specifically referencing a previous murder-suicide case.
