(CNN) Houston police officer Taylor Roccaforte was shocked when then-presidential candidate Joe Biden came to see him in the hospital after he was shot in the line of duty. Roccaforte was even more surprised that the future president wanted to keep the 2019 visit a secret. "It was a very small meeting for just me and my very close, immediate family," Roccaforte said. "He said 'This is Joe Biden,' and then, as if he had to clarify, said 'this is former Vice President Joe Biden,'" Roccaforte said. He said Biden told him he'd been thinking about him and wanted to see how he was doing.
