Colombia presidential candidate shot in head at rally | 8 June 2025 | A Colombian presidential candidate remains in intensive care after he was shot three times — twice in the head — at a campaign event in the capital, Bogotá. Miguel Uribe Turbay, a 39-year-old senator, was attacked while addressing supporters in a park on Saturday. Police arrested a 15-year-old suspect at the scene, the attorney general’s office said. Uribe’s wife, Maria Claudia Tarazona, called on the nation to pray for his survival, saying: “Miguel is currently fighting for his life. Let us ask God to guide the hands of the doctors who are treating him.” Uribe’s Centro Democratico party condemned the attack, calling it a threat to “democracy and freedom in Colombia.” Uribe was rushed into surgery while in a critical condition, Bogotá Mayor Carlos Fernando Galán said late on Saturday night.
