Right wing Colombian presidential candidate Miguel Uribe Turbay is recovering after being shot in the head twice and once in the knee.

39-year-old Uribe was ambushed by gunmen in the capital city of Bogota, Columbia on Saturday while speaking to supporters.

The attorney general’s official stated that a 15-year-old suspect was arrested at the scene.

Local media reported that the suspect was shot in the leg as law enforcement pursued, confiscating a “9mm Glock-type firearm” in the process.

Meanwhile U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio condemned the violence “in the strongest possible terms,” while calling out the “violent leftist rhetoric” of the current Colombian government.
