Conservative Colombian Senator in Serious Condition After Shooting at Political Rally

Colombian Senator Miguel Uribe Turbay was shot and wounded by armed assailants from behind at a campaign rally in Bogota on Saturday.
The attack occurred amid Colombia's political tensions ahead of the May 31, 2026, presidential election where Uribe Turbay is a possible candidate.
Uribe Turbay, 39, was admitted in critical condition to Santa Fe Foundation hospital after receiving two gunshot wounds, and two others were also injured.
Colombian President Gustavo Petro vowed complete openness in the investigation, while the top U.S. diplomat strongly denounced the attack as an assault on democratic principles.
The government offered a reward to capture those responsible, and the incident raised regional concern given its impact on Colombia’s democratic process.
