โIt was special to me.โ HPD officer who was shot reveals Pres. Biden visited him in the hospital
HOUSTON โ Newly released photographs show now-President Joe Biden quietly visited an injured Houston police officer in the hospital a little more than a year ago. Officer Taylor Roccaforte was shot three times while pursuing a robbery suspect shortly after the Democratic debate in Houston in 2019. โIt was very unexpected and it was special to me,โ Taylor Roccaforte told KPRC 2 on Wednesday. Samuel Roccaforte, Taylorโs father and a fellow HPD officer, said Biden didnโt want any press at the hospital. โIt was really a nice time for us to see him there and was very calming for my son,โ Samuel Roccaforte said.
