Colombian presidential hopeful Miguel Uribe dies 2 months after being shot during a rally

A Colombian senator and presidential hopeful whose shooting at a political rally in June recalled some of the darkest chapters of the country’s drug-fueled violence died Monday. The family of Miguel Uribe Turbay said the politician died at a hospital in the capital, Bogota. Uribe, 39, was shot three times, twice in the head, while giving a campaign speech in a park and had since remained in an intensive care unit in serious condition with episodes of slight improvement. Details by Patricio Peralta, FRANCE 24 Espanol journalist in Bogota.
