Colombian presidential candidate Senator Miguel Uribe Turbay had to be urgently transferred on June 16 for further surgery as he fights for his life after being shot in the head by a would-be assassin at a campaign event on June 7.

The Fundación Santa Fe University Hospital in Bogotá reported Monday morning that Urine “required a transfer a few minutes ago to the operating room for emergency neurosurgery due to clinical and imaging evidence of acute intracerebral bleeding,” according to a statement by Dr. Adolfo Llinás Volpe, the hospital’s medical director, which was published on X.
