Charges are pending against a 58-year-old North Platte woman following a short standoff at a North Platte apartment complex.

At around 7:00 a.m., on Monday, officers responded to Buffalo Bill Manor, 1200 South Oak, after receiving information that Debra Fitzsimons had made lethal threats towards staff at Great Plains Health.

Upon arrival at Buffalo Bill Manor, Fitzsimons made threats towards officers, allegedly stating that she was armed with a gun and would shoot.

After a brief standoff officers were able to gain access to the apartment just before 8:00 a.m., and take Fitzsimons into custody.

According to Officer Rodney Brown, officers did deploy Tasers after Fitzsimons pointed a handgun-style BB gun at them.

Fitzsimons was taken into custody and transported to Great Plains Health for medical evaluation.

Brown said Fitzsimons will most likely be charged criminally following her release from the hospital.
