A Colombian presidential candidate, Miguel Uribe Turbay, was shot three times, reportedly twice in the head, during a campaign event in Bogotá, prompting immediate panic among attendees. A 15-year-old suspect was arrested at the scene, while Uribe’s wife urged the nation to pray for his survival, and his party condemned the attack as a threat to democracy. The government and U.S. officials also denounced the violence, emphasizing its implications for political freedom in Colombia, as Uribe had recently announced his candidacy for the upcoming presidential election.
