Conservative Colombian Sen. Miguel Uribe Turbay was shot and seriously injured during a campaign rally in the capital, Bogota. The brazen attack captured on video shook a nation that decades ago regularly saw kidnappings and killings of politicians and high profile people.

The brazen attack, captured on video, recalled the political violence of past decades. The senator arrived at a hospital in critical condition.

Uribe was speaking at a campaign event when gunshots rang out. He was shot three times, including in the head, and is "fighting for his life."
