Judge to Deliver Verdict in Police Officers Assault Trial: A Massachusetts judge is set to deliver his verdict today in the assault trial of North Andover police officer Kelsey Fitzsimmons, whos charged with assault with a dangerous weapon after a colleague shot her during a confrontation last summer. Fitzsimmons, who waived a jury trial, testified she planned to take her own life and never aimed her gun at anyone else. The defense argued the shooting officer reacted too fast amid a possible suicide attempt, while prosecutors countered that evidence made her account impossible and backed the officers actions as proper. Witnesses included the ex-fiancé, responding officers, and investigators who examined her gun. Home surveillance video captured the chaos, and Fitzsimmons has since been cleared to leave her mothers home as she works toward reuniting with her child. If youre in crisis or know someone who is, reach out to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at nine eight eight.
