Female cop is shot in wild encounter with fellow officers who turned up at her home to serve restraining order
A female police officer was shot by a fellow officer during a dramatic confrontation inside her own home while being served with a restraining order filed by her fiancé over safety concerns for their four-month-old baby. Kelsey Fitzsimmons, 28, an off-duty officer with the North Andover Police Department, was shot once on Monday evening after three fellow officers, including a supervisor, arrived at her home to serve a court-approved protection order. Essex County District Attorney Paul Tucker confirmed on Tuesday that as Fitzsimmons was being 'escorted' in the home and being served the order, an 'armed confrontation' erupted. 'As a result of that armed confrontation, one of the responding officers discharged their weapon, which struck Ms. Fitzsimmons once,' Tucker told reporters. The wounded officer had to be airlifted by medical helicopter to a Boston hospital, where she remains in stable condition. The district attorney would not comment on where she had been shot nor confirm details about her mental health. Fitzsimmons, who had been with the department about 18 months, was already on administrative leave and had filed to have her service weapon returned during her leave, according to police. Her leave will now be extended. Court documents obtained by WBZ-TV shed light on why officers had arrived to serve the restraining order. Fitzsimmons, who has been with the department about 18 months, was already on administrative leave and had filed to have her service weapon returned during her leave Fitzsimmons' fiancé told authorities she allegedly struck him, threatened to take their baby away, and that he feared for their child's safety. In March, police and emergency medical responders were called to Fitzsimmons's home for what was described as a 'female having a mental health episode,' records show. She was hospitalized for 12 hours and diagnosed with postpartum depression. At that time, she turned in her service weapon. After being medically cleared in June, Fitzsimmons was reinstated to active duty, along with her license to carry a firearm. But on Monday, things took a grim turn. The fiancé obtained a restraining order and a bid for sole custody of their infant. The confrontation that followed inside Fitzsimmons's own home then turned violent. Officers had arrived to serve the standard '209A' abuse prevention order, which includes retrieval of any firearms as a routine safety measure. 'Pursuant to the court order, one of the standard boxes to check is retrieval of any firearms in the home,' Tucker explained, adding that the restraining order process can be 'some of the most dangerous duties that police officers can cover, no matter who the object of that order is.' A note in the court paperwork had warned officers that serving Fitzsimmons could carry additional risk. 'Defendant is an officer with a license to carry. Plaintiff expressed concerns regarding Defendant's reaction to being served.' When asked if Fitzsimmons was armed during the encounter, Tucker said investigators were still gathering statements from the officers involved. 'The very granular details, we're waiting to speak on until we get the interviews back from our state police detectives,' he told reporters. North Andover Police Chief Charles Gray, appearing visibly shaken, declined to comment on whether the restraining order was linked directly to her service weapon, calling it a 'personnel matter.' He added, 'We're concerned for all the officers, on-duty and off-duty, and we're just going to monitor and hopefully get some results.' The officer who fired the shot, whose name has not yet been released, is a veteran with more than 20 years of experience, Tucker confirmed. Mental health clinician Jeff Zeizel, who works with first responders, told CBS Boston that resources for officers in crisis are critical. 'The more people process their feelings and deal with the trauma, the healthier they become,' Zeizel said. The department does not use body cameras, so there is no video of the shooting, according to Chief Gray. District Attorney Tucker acknowledged the many unanswered questions surrounding the incident. 'There are lots of interviews to be done. There are lots of pieces to be put together. There is lots of things that remain unanswered,' he said. The incident is under investigation by Massachusetts State Police detectives assigned to Tucker's office, while Fitzsimmons recovers in the hospital. 'We want to make sure that the people of North Andover and across the Commonwealth know as much as we can give out at this time, being as transparent as we can,' Tucker said.

Katy Perry files restraining order against homeless man
Katy Perry has filed a restraining order against a homeless man who has reportedly shown up at her California mansion. According to court documents, obtained by TMZ, the 'Roar' singer filed a temporary legal protection order against Ross Elliott Hedrick. The order claims Mr Hedrick, 43, made several approaches to the one of the pop star's Montecito homes during the month of May. He allegedly refused to take 'no' as an answer when trying to enter the grounds. It has not been reported which of Perry's two Montecito homes Hedrick allegedly turned up at. The Grammy-winner requested in the filing that the order of protection include her former partner Orlando Bloom, from whom she has since split. Prior to their split, Perry and Bloom are understood to have been residing in an expansive Mediterranean-style mansion the singer purchased for $US14.2 million ($A21.7 million) in 2020, Realtor reports. Their second Montecito home, which was snapped up earlier that same year, is reportedly being rented out to actor Chris Pratt and his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger. The former couple's primary residence has been undergoing extensive renovations in recent months. However, according to Perry's restraining order request, that hasn't stopped Mr Hedrick from showing up several times. Perry's lawyers claim that the 'transient' man was arrested after he turned up at the home the first time, only to return to the dwelling one week later. The singer's security team noted Mr Hedrick was thought to have been holding an aerosol can and a butane lighter the first time he showed up at her dwelling. On the second occasion, they claim Mr Hedrick threw a blanket over the security gate. The A-lister's security team claimed the 43-year-old poses a great threat to Perry, adding they believe he will continue to try to trespass onto the property. The filing also included screenshots of footage taken by Perry's security camera, which reportedly show Hedrick on the grounds. News of the restraining order comes days after it was revealed that Bloom and Perry had called it quits after nine years together. According to one insider, the duo — who share a four-year-old daughter, Daisy — remain 'amicable' amid their split and are focused on co-parenting together. 'Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable,' a source told Us Weekly. 'It's not contentious at the moment. Katy is of course upset but is relieved to not have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life.' 'They are still very much in touch and co-parenting Daisy together,' a second insider added. 'They aren't making drastic changes for Daisy's sake. They will keep their lives in Montecito. 'They are prioritising stability and consistency for Daisy.' It's unclear who will take ownership of the property, however records indicate only Perry's name was on the deed. The 'Birthday' hit maker purchased the Mediterranean-style mansion just months after buying another Montecito abode over which she became embroiled in a bitter legal battle with its former owner. Perry struck a deal to purchase the property from veteran Carl Westcott for $US15 million ($A22 million) back in 2020. Days later, the seller tried to back out of the deal, claiming he had been under the influence of painkillers when he agreed to the sale. 'The combination of his age, frailty from his back condition and recent surgery, and the opiates he was taking several times a day rendered Mr. Westcott of unsound mind,' Mr Westcott's lawyers stated in court documents. However, Perry's representatives argued that Westcott, a business mogul who founded 1-800-Flowers, had been of sound mind when he agreed to the deal and that he only wanted to back out because he hadn't been able to find an alternative Montecito property to his liking or budget. Their years-long legal battle was finally resolved in December 2023, when a judge ruled in Perry's favour and ordered the original sale contract — which was arranged via the pop star's business manager, Bernie Gudvi — should be upheld. Perry officially took possession of the home in May 2024. The sprawling compound sits among the Santa Ynez foothills and has eight bedrooms, 7.5 bathrooms, a tennis court, two guesthouses, and a pool. It's unclear whether Bloom was involved in the purchase of the sprawling abode. However, the 'Pirates of the Caribbean 'star was dragged into Perry's legal battle when he was subpoenaed to testify in a trial during which the 'ET' singer was attempting to claim damages of up to $US6 million ($A13 million) from Mr Westcott. Perry and Bloom began dating in 2016 after meeting at a Golden Globes after-party, where they fought over an In 'N' Out burger, the singer previously revealed during an episode of 'American Idol'. Rumours of a split have dogged the couple for years now; however, Bloom appeared to confirm the latest speculation when he made a solo arrival in Venice for the wedding of Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos and his fiancee, Lauren Sanchez — with whom Perry is also understood to be close friends. One source told TMZ that Bloom is refusing to let the split get him down, claiming the actor is planning to let his hair down during the wedding celebrations. 'He's the life of the party and he's gonna hit the dance floor hard!' the insider claimed.

North Andover police officer shot while being served restraining order identified as Kelsey Fitzsimmons
North Andover, Massachusetts police officer Kelsey Fitzsimmons was in stable condition Tuesday, a day after she was shot by a fellow officer as she was served with a restraining order. At a news conference Tuesday, Essex County District Attorney Paul Tucker revealed more details about the shooting Monday night. Three North Andover police officers, one of them a supervisor, went to Fitzsimmons's home on Phillips Brooks Road just after 6 p.m. to "serve a court appointed restraining order," Tucker said. "Armed confrontation" "When one of the officers was escorting Ms. Fitzsimmons during the service of the court order, an armed confrontation took place. As a result of that armed conformation, one of the responding officers discharged their weapon, which struck Ms. Fitzsimmons," Tucker told reporters Tuesday. Fitzsimmons was shot once and was rushed to a hospital in Boston on a medical rescue helicopter. She was in stable condition as of Tuesday morning, the district attorney said. "We don't know how long she'll be treated," Tucker said. He added that Fitzsimmons was on administrative leave and that the leave will now be extended. She's been with the North Andover police department for about a year and a half. The officer who fired the shot has not been identified, but the district attorney said he's been with the department for more than 20 years. "We're concerned for all the officers, on-duty and off-duty and we're just going to monitor and hopefully get some results," said North Andover Police Chief Charles Gray. "Lots of things remain unanswered" "There are lots of interviews to be done. There are lots of pieces to be put together. There is lots of things that remain unanswered," Tucker said. "But for now, we want to make sure that the people of North Andover and across the Commonwealth know as much as we can give out at this time, being as transparent as we can. We also know that serving restraining orders, court-approved restraining orders are sometimes some of the most dangerous duties that police officers can cover, no matter who the object of that order is." When asked if officers were going to take her service weapon during the incident, Tucker said, "The restraining order was a standard 209A filed by the plaintiff and served by the North Andover officers." "Pursuant to the court order, one of the standard boxes to check is retrieval of any firearms in the home. That's standard operating," the district attorney said.
