He held her baby. Tried to feed him a bottle while wearing body armor. Minutes later, the prosecution says she pointed a gun at his face and pulled the trigger.
Officer Patrick Noonan is the only person who was in that bedroom when Kelsey Fitzsimmons was shot. He's a 20-year law enforcement veteran with Air Force security forces, nuclear missile site defense, and SWAT experience on two different teams. The prosecution spent the first half of this testimony building that resume for a reason: they want Judge Karp to see a seasoned professional who responded the way he was trained.
But Noonan's own words on the stand are what the defense will zero in on tomorrow during cross-examination. Pay attention to exactly what he says he yelled at Fitzsimmons before he fired. Then remember what three other witnesses already told the court they heard from downstairs.

WATCH WITH JUSTICE
0:25 to 5:07 - Noonan is sworn in and the prosecution starts building his credentials. Air Force, nuclear missile security, four-man fire teams carrying machine guns. This resume is doing a job for the state.
5:07 to 13:23 - SWAT tryouts, stress shooting, shoot/don't shoot scenarios. The prosecution wants the judge to know this man has trained for exactly the kind of decision he made in that bedroom. The defense objects when it starts sounding like expert testimony.
18:13 to 22:31 - Noonan describes arriving at the house, noticing Fitzsimmons parked 150 yards away, entering, and finding her duty belt empty on the couch. She tells them the guns are in the basement.
22:31 to 26:28 - She hands Noonan her screaming baby and a bottle. He tries to feed him while wearing body armor. Then she packs books and clothes for her son while Noonan tells her she will see him in two weeks.
26:28 to 30:34 - Houston goes downstairs, leaving Noonan alone with Fitzsimmons. She gets upset. Starts shaking. Then she lunges behind the door frame, comes back with a gun, and pulls the trigger. It clicks. What Noonan does next and what he yells while doing it is the most important testimony in this trial.
30:34 to 34:58 - Noonan fires twice. First aid. "Just keep breathing. You have a baby to live for." Then a damaged glass pane on the baby's room door that nobody can explain. Court adjourns before direct is finished.
