A Colombian senator and presidential hopeful has died after being shot at a political rally two months ago. His family confirmed his death on Monday. Miguel Uribe, 39, was shot three times while giving a campaign speech in Bogota and had been in intensive care since the attack. A teenage suspect was arrested at the scene, but it's unclear who ordered the hit. The shooting alarmed Colombians, recalling the political violence of the 1990s. Uribe was a prominent figure in the conservative Democratic Center party. The attack sparked calls for justice and an end to violence.
