"Assistant Essex District Attorney James Gubitose emphasized that Officer Patrick Noonan's life was spared due to the gun not being loaded and Noonan's extensive training, which allowed him to respond effectively during the incident."
"Gubitose highlighted Noonan's background, detailing his experience in the Air Force and on SWAT teams, which contributed to his calm and professional reaction when faced with Fitzsimmons' actions."
Kelsey Fitzsimmons, a North Andover police officer, is on trial for assault and battery with a dangerous weapon after being shot by colleague Patrick Noonan. The incident occurred while officers were serving a restraining order to Fitzsimmons, granted to her ex-fiancé, Justin Aylaian. Fitzsimmons claims she attempted suicide, while the prosecution argues she aimed a weapon at Noonan, prompting him to shoot her. The trial is ongoing in Essex County Superior Court, overseen by Judge Jeffrey Karp.
