Kelsey Fitzsimmons takes the stand in her assault trial

Prosecutors rested their case Wednesday in the trial of former North Andover police officer Kelsey Fitzsimmons, accused of pointing a gun at a co-worker while being served with a restraining order filed by her ex-fiancé last summer.

Prosecutors say she pulled the trigger on her gun, but the weapon failed to fire because there was no round in the chamber. Fitzsimmons was then shot and wounded.

The defense argued that Fitzsimmons was experiencing a mental health crisis and only intended to harm herself.

She has pleaded not guilty to a charge of assault with a dangerous weapon.

PREVIOUS STORY:

On Tuesday, North Andover Officer Patrick Noonan, the officer who shot Fitzsimmons, took the stand in Lawrence District Court.

Noonan testified that Fitzsimmons pointed a gun at him and pulled the trigger after serving him the court order. He told the court he believed she intended to harm him.

During cross-examination, Fitzsimmons’ attorney pressed Noonan about his past interactions with her, including comments he allegedly made to a neighbor.

One exchange included the question: “Is it possible that you called her stupid to her neighbor?”

To which Noonan replied: “…after he tried to kill me. »

The defense is expected to take the judge to Fitzsimmons’ home in North Andover, where the shooting took place, as part of its presentation of evidence.

The trial began Monday with opening statements and testimony, as the prosecution and defense offered sharply contrasting accounts of what happened at his home.

Fitzsimmons waived his right to a jury trial, meaning the judge alone will determine the verdict.

The trial is expected to conclude Friday, with closing arguments and a ruling expected to follow soon after.
