Colombian Presidential Hopeful Dies Two Months After Campaign Event Shooting

BOGOTÁ, Colombia—Miguel Uribe, a senator who had cautioned that Colombia was backsliding into violence, died on Monday from wounds sustained when he was shot two months earlier at a campaign event. He was 39 years old.
Uribe, a presidential hopeful and the grandson of a former president, was shot twice in the head on June 7 by a teenage gunman who fired a 9mm Glock handgun, an act caught on video. The senator underwent several operations, but the hospital said his condition had worsened over the weekend.

Four people shot at apartment complex on Detroit's east side, police say

Four people were shot, including one person in self-defense, at an apartment complex Monday night on Detroit's east side. The shooting happened at Sheridan Place in the 7500 block of E. Jefferson Avenue. Police said a group was outside having a barbecue, and there was an argument about the volume of the music. Police said the gunman wounded three people in their early 60s and late 70s. One of the people shot was able to tackle the man and bring him to the ground, causing him to drop his gun. Police said a good Samaritan grabbed the gun and shot the suspect in self-defense. All four people are in stable condition. An investigation is ongoing.
