BOGOTA: Colombian senator Miguel Uribe remains in a critical condition after being shot in Bogota on Saturday, but has shown signs of neurological improvement, the hospital treating him said in a statement today.
The 39-year-old, a potential presidential contender, is a member of the opposition right-wing Democratic Centre party.
He was shot in the head as he was addressing a campaign event in a public park in the capital.
“Despite the severity of his condition, there are signs of neurological improvement due to a decrease in cerebral edema. There is also evidence of a trend toward hemodynamic stabilisation,” the Santa Fe Foundation hospital said.
