Bogota's mayor says Colombian Sen. Miguel Uribe Turbay, a conservative presidential hopeful, is in serious condition following surgery for a gunshot wound at a political rally a day earlier.

The brazen attack, captured on video, recalled the political violence of past decades. The senator arrived at a hospital in critical condition.

Colombian presidential hopeful Miguel Uribe is “fighting for his life” after being shot during a campaign rally in the capital, Bogota. The assault took place on Saturday in a park as the country gears up for next year’s presidential election.
