Police guard Bogota clinic where Colombian presidential contender is hospitalized
Police officers guard the entrance to the Fundacion Santa Fe clinic, in Bogota, where Colombian presidential candidate Miguel Uribe is hospitalized after being shot. Thirty-nine-year-old Senator Miguel Uribe has successfully undergone initial surgery, according to authorities. He was speaking to supporters in the capital when a gunman shot him twice in the head and once in the knee before being detained. A security guard managed to detain the suspected attacker, a minor who is believed to be 15 years old. Uribe was airlifted to hospital in "critical condition" and underwent a "neurosurgical" and "peripheral vascular procedure," the Santa Fe Clinic in Bogota confirmed. IMAGES
