Family members and supporters of the Colombian presidential contender, Miguel Uribe, pray for his health at the Santa Fe Foundation Hospital. The thirty-nine-year-old Senator was speaking to supporters in Bogota when a gunman shot him twice in the head and once in the knee before being detained. The city's mayor has announced that Uribe has successfully undergone initial surgery. "Our Centro Democratico party calls for us to pray for Miguel Uribe's life, to support his family, and to always express ourselves against all acts of violence," says Christian Garces, Congressman of the Democratic Center party, from outside the hospital.
