A Colombian senator shot in June falls back into critical condition after hemorrhaging
The Fundación Santa Fe clinic that is treating him said in a statement that Uribe Turbay required 'urgent neurosurgical procedures' to stabilize him, adding that he was placed under deep sedation to aid his recovery.
Uribe Turbay was shot three times, twice in the head, while giving a campaign speech in a park on June 7. Since then, he has remained in an intensive care unit in serious condition with episodes of slight improvement.
Two months after the attack, his wife, María Claudia Tarazona, posted the following message on Instagram: 'My sweet love, I miss you so much that it tears my soul apart. Come back to me, God willing.'
Six people have been prosecuted for the attack, while a minor collaborating in the investigation escaped from a detention center.
Among those arrested is Cristian Camilo González Ardilla, alias 'El Costeño,' whom authorities believe was the planner and organizer of the attack and considered key to help investigators track down its masterminds.

Corinthians kick out president over corruption charges
Corinthians, one of Brazil's most successful football clubs, has forced out its president Anthony Melo who is facing criminal charges of theft and money laundering. The Sao Paulo club voted at its annual general meeting on Saturday to oust Melo, who had already been suspended. Melo, 61, has been charged with criminal conspiracy, money laundering and theft, according to legal sources. The move followed an investigation into a sponsorship deal with the Vai de Bet gambling platform. According to Brazilian media, documents showed that Melo set up a network of fake companies to divert money belonging to Corinthians, which is in financial difficulty. Prosecutors have demanded Melo and other suspects in the case repay about $7.2 million to the club. The general assembly voted 1,413 to 620 to remove Melo, according to official results released by Corinthians, whose high profile supporters include President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The seven-time Brazilian champions are currently 12th in the table. Their star players have included Garrincha, Rivelino, Socrates, Roberto Carlos and more recently Javier Mascherano. Melo brought in Dutch internatonal Memphis Depay last year. rsr/cl/tw/pi

From chaos to quiet, businesses reopen near CDC following active shooter situation
It was Friday afternoon when authorities say 30-year-old Patrick Joseph White opened fire near the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Emory University, leading to a lockdown of businesses in the area. Atlanta police say calls started coming in about an active shooter near the area of Clifton Road just before 5 p.m. Assistant Manager at The General Muir, Nial Benton, captured video while sheltered inside his restaurant at 4:53 p.m., with what sounded like several rounds of gunfire. 'My anxiety in my body was shaking really hard. But I was like, 'This is really happening right now.' I don't know what made me record, but I hit record, and I caught that moment,' Benton told Channel 2's Brittany Kleinpeter.

From lockdown to lights back on — it appeared most businesses in the area had reopened by Saturday morning. 'It's been normal. We had a good number of people for our brunch service. People were like, 'What happened yesterday?' Asking questions,' Benton added. However, while it appeared businesses had returned after the bullets, unease still lingered. 'It is still a really weird energy coming back to this place after all that happened. But life has to go on, and people have to continue to go back to work,' Benton said.
