Colombian Presidential Candidate Shot in Bogota Attack
Colombian Senator Miguel Uribe, a potential 2024 presidential candidate, is in critical but stable condition after being shot twice during a campaign event in Bogota. A 15-year-old carrying a Glock pistol was apprehended by police. The attack drew widespread condemnation from Colombian officials, including President Gustavo Petro, as well as international figures, including former presidents and the US Secretary of State. Uribe, from a prominent political family with a history of violence, is a member of the center-right Democratic Center party.
