Colombian presidential hopeful shot in head

"Colombian senator and presidential candidate Miguel Uribe Turbay was attacked and critically wounded during a campaign rally in Bogota on Saturday.
The 39-year-old lawmaker from the right-wing Democratic Center party was meeting supporters when he was shot in the head at around 5pm local time, according to a party statement. He was transported to a hospital in critical condition. One suspect was arrested at the scene.
Uribe, a vocal critic of the current administration, announced his candidacy for the 2026 presidential election earlier this year. The incident marks one of the most serious attacks on a national political figure in Colombia in decades." RT
