Actor Cuba Gooding Jr. says he cried after learning that he once posed for a photo with one of the five officers killed in Dallas this week.
In a photo posted on Patrick Zamarripa’s Twitter page in February, the Hollywood actor can be seen mugging for the camera with two police officers.
One of them, seen beaming in the center, is the 32-year-old Iraq war veteran and father of a 2-year-old girl.
“The great @Cubagoodingjr,” the photo’s caption read. “Thanx for taking the pic with my partner and I. Hope your stay in #Dallas was great sir!”
In an Instagram post Saturday, the Rangers third baseman recalled being stopped by the officer, who was excited to get a picture with them.
“‘I know who you guys are,’” Gallo recalled Zamarripa saying. “‘Joey Gallo and Nomar Mazara, can I get a picture with you guys please?’ It was definitely a first for me and Nomar to have an officer, a true hero, want to meet us.”
Gallo asked that the public keep Zamarripa’s family, as well as all the other affected families and officers, in their prayers.
“I’ll never forget how kind and down to Earth he was,” he said of Zamarripa. “We ended up having a 15 minute conversation about sports with him. He was an avid Rangers fan. But more importantly a great person, and family man.”
