Colombian Senator Shot: 14-Year-Old Sicario Apprehended, WhatsApp Message Reveals Plot

Colombian Senator Miguel Uribe was shot three times on Saturday evening during a political rally in what authorities are calling a targeted attack. A 14-year-old boy, apprehended shortly after the shooting, is in custody. According to police, the boy's WhatsApp messages revealed a plan to "collect" Uribe. Uribe underwent surgery and is currently in critical but stable condition. The video evidence, obtained from security cameras and bystanders, shows the chaos that ensued after the shooting. One witness described the scene as "pure panic." The police have offered a reward of 3,000 million pesos (approximately 640,000 euros) for information that helps them identify those responsible for planning the attack. President Gustavo Petro has stated that the rally was spontaneous, not officially scheduled. The investigation is ongoing, focusing on identifying the masterminds behind the assassination attempt. The incident highlights the ongoing political tensions in Colombia.
