Lou Ferrigno Visits Wounded Police Officer in Hospital, Calls Him an ‘Inspiration’

Actor Lou Ferrigno visited wounded Colorado Springs police officer Cem Duzel in the hospital Friday and described the wounded officer as an “inspiration.”

CBS4/AP reports that 31-year-old Karrar Noaman Al Khammasi allegedly shot Duzel in the head earlier this month. Newsday reports that Al Khammasi is an “ex-convict” who was out on parole at the time Duzel was shot.

On Friday, Ferrigno visited Duzel in the hospital and tweeted about his time with the wounded officer.

“Visited with Cem Duzel in Colorado Springs this morning. Cem is police officer that was shot in the head in the line of duty. This man is my inspiration today and I’m proud to have spent some time with him!” Ferrigno wrote.
