Storyline: Hundreds of people marched through the Colombian capital Bogota on Sunday to the hospital where presidential candidate Miguel Uribe Turbay, who was shot in an assassination attempt the day before, remains in critical condition. The supporters, holding the national flag and chanting slogans, gathered outside the Fundacion Santa Fe hospital, prayed for the 39-year-old senator's recovery. Uribe Turbay, who is running for next year's presidency, was addressing a group of people in a campaign rally when armed assailants shot him from behind, said the Democratic Center, the opposition party to which the senator belongs. Images circulating on social media shows Uribe Turbay covered in blood, apparently with a head wound, as several people held him. The authorities have announced the arrest of a male teenage suspect allegedly involved in the shooting incident, saying that an investigation is underway to determine whether others were involved. Speaking to the nation on Saturday night, Colombian President Gustavo Petro condemned the attack on Uribe Turbay and called for unity. He vowed action and transparency in the investigation.
