- — The Associated Press

SPRINGS» An Iraqi COLORADO refugee accused of critically wounding a Colorado Springs police officer made his first court appearance.

Karrar Noaman Al Khamassi was told Thursday he faces attempted murder and other charges in the Aug. 2 shooting of Officer Cem Duzel.

Bail was set at $1 million for Al Khamassi. His next court appearance is Aug. 16.

Colorado Springs police said Thursday that Duzel remains in critical condition.

Court records suggest Al Khamassi has lived in Colorado for at least five years.

A Department of Homeland Security official told The Associated Press this week that he was granted refugee status and arrived in the United States in May 2012.
