Colombian senator shot undergoes surgery for brain bleeding

Bogotá, June 16 (Prensa Latina) – Colombian Senator Miguel Uribe, who was shot on Saturday, June 7, in Bogotá, underwent emergency neurosurgery today after clinical and imaging tests revealed acute intracerebral bleeding.

The Santa Fe de Bogotá Foundation, the medical center where Uribe—a congressman and presidential candidate for the Democratic Center Party—is being treated, confirmed the procedure in a recent update.

Earlier, the clinic had reported that his condition remained critical, with a guarded neurological prognosis. According to their statement, Uribe underwent additional surgery following the initial procedure. A post-operative brain CT scan showed expected results, with no significant changes beyond those previously identified.

Authorities have already charged three individuals in connection with the attempted assassination, including a 14-year-old minor alleged to be the shooter..
