The North Andover police officer who was shot​ by a member of her own department as she was served with a restraining order is facing criminal charges.

The North Andover police officer who was shot by a colleague in an “armed confrontation” last week now faces three felony charges related to the incident. At the same time, her lawyer is alleging she is the victim of an “appalling campaign to criminalize her in order to deflect accountability” from the North Andover Police Department.

Instead of de-escalation, she was met with deadly force,” said Timothy Bradl, the attorney for Kelsey Fitzsimmons.
