Senator Uribe is in critical condition after being shot in BOGOTÁ, with two bullets hitting his head and a third striking him elsewhere. He is currently receiving urgent medical care in a local hospital.

Reports indicate that a teenager apprehended at the scene is believed to be the shooter, according to local media outlets.

The 39-year-old Senator Uribe, a potential candidate in next year’s elections, is the grandson of former President Hulio Cesar Turbaya Ajala, who governed Colombia from 1978 to 1982.

It is indeed vital to note that Senator Uribe has no familial connection to former President Alvaro uribi, who held office from 2002 to 2010.

Colombian Defense Minister Pedro sanchez has pledged a full investigation to determine if the shooter acted alone or had any accomplices.

Minister Sanchez announced via social media platform “X” a reward of three billion Colombian Peso (€ 640,000) for information leading to the capture of any individuals involved in the attack.

President Gustavo Petro has cancelled his planned trip to France considering the serious nature of the incident.

US Secretary of State, Mark Rubio, criticized “Direct Democracy” and urged President Petro to moderate his rhetoric and ensure the protection of Colombian officials.

“He has promised three billion Colombian Peso (€ 640,000) for any information that would allow the perpetrators to be caught.”
