Colombian presidential candidate Miguel Uribe was shot twice, in the head and chest, during a campaign rally in Bogotá, leaving him in critical but stable condition after surgery. The assailant, a 15-year-old boy, was detained at the scene, and while no specific motive has been established, the incident highlights Colombia’s history of political violence. Uribe, a senator and right-wing critic of current President Gustavo Petro, is vying for the presidency in the upcoming May election.
