Colombian Senator Miguel Uribe, a potential 2026 presidential candidate, was shot during a campaign event in Bogota and is in critical condition, according to his wife. The opposition Democratic Center party condemned the shooting as “unacceptable violence,” while the Attorney General’s Office is investigating the incident, which also injured two others, and has offered a $730,000 reward for information.
