Off-Duty Police Officer Shot by Police During Confrontation at Mass. Home

A North Andover police officer who was not on duty sustained serious injuries after being shot by a currently active officer during an armed confrontation at her residence Monday evening around 6:30 p.m.
The shooting took place during an effort by officers to deliver a legally authorized restraining order to the off-duty officer, although investigators have yet to explain what triggered the confrontation or disclose the specifics of the order.
Three officers were involved in serving the restraining order, and the on-duty officer who fired has more than 20 years of service with the North Andover Police Department.
Essex County District Attorney Paul Tucker acknowledged that many questions remain unanswered and confirmed that the investigation is currently being conducted by State Police, with no charges filed at this time.
The injured officer, identified as 28-year-old Kelsey Fitzsimmons, was flown to a Boston-area hospital and was stable as of Tuesday morning, while the incident underscores risks in serving court orders.
