The Trial of Kelsey Fitzsimmons: Why Was She Really Shot?

In this episode of CaseXCase, we take a close look at the upcoming trial of Kelsey Fitzsimmons, a North Andover, Massachusetts police officer who was shot by fellow officers while they were serving a 209A protection order at her home. According to investigators, Fitzsimmons produced a firearm and attempted to fire it at officers before being shot. But the case raises serious questions — including the absence of body camera footage and conflicting accounts of what happened inside the home. Before the trial begins, we break down what the court filings reveal so far, including: • Allegations involving Fitzsimmons’ former fiancé • Evidence related to postpartum depression • The lack of body camera footage • The physical evidence involving the firearm • And what the defense may argue actually happened that day Once jury selection begins, CaseXCase will be covering this trial with daily recaps, starting with the opening statements and continuing throughout the testimony.
