This is a breaking news alert…
Colombian opposition senator and 2026 presidential candidate Miguel Uribe Turbay was shot in the head at a campaign event in Bogotá and is in critical condition.
The government condemned the incident as an “attack,” and one suspect has been arrested.
This is the most serious assassination attempt on a political figure in Colombia since the era of Pablo Escobar in the early 1990s.
Incredibly, the moment was caught on camera:
