"Fitzsimmons was shot last summer when three other North Andover officers arrived at her home on Phillips Brook Road to serve her a restraining order. She was on leave at the time due to struggles with postpartum depression, she has said publicly."
"Two contradicting stories have emerged regarding how Fitzsimmons was shot. The responding officer who shot her says that he feared for his life after Fitzsimmons suddenly pulled a gun out and attempted to fire it at him. Fitzsimmons, meanwhile, says that she pulled the gun out with the intention of taking her own life and never pointed it at her colleague."
"She filed a motion this week that contains a range of allegations against the former fiancé, including that he broke into her home on July 3, 2025. He had moved out of the house before then. On the affidavit he filed on June 28, he listed his residence as being in Stow."
Kelsey Fitzsimmons, a North Andover police officer, was shot by a colleague while officers served a restraining order at her home. She claims she pulled a gun intending self-harm, while the officer states she pointed it at him. Hospitalized for 53 days, Fitzsimmons faces assault charges with trial set for March 23. She now alleges her former fiancé, who obtained the restraining order citing safety concerns, broke into her home on July 3, 2025, stole belongings, and committed identity theft using her computer to withdraw money from her bank account. Her father, a security company owner, installed new locks and surveillance cameras after the shooting.
