'No resource or time should be spared, not a single peso and not a single moment of energy, to dedicate it exclusively to finding the mastermind behind the murder. bootstrap slideshow 'Whatever his political thoughts and positions, he is first and foremost a person, a human being, and therefore has the absolute right to live,' he said. Uribe, 39, was reportedly approached from behind by a lone assailant who fired six shots, two of which struck him. Video footage shared on social media showed him bleeding from the head and back as his security detail rushed him into a vehicle and transported him to hospital. The Fundacion Santa Fe hospital, where Uribe is receiving treatment, confirmed in a statement that he was admitted in critical condition and was undergoing neurosurgical and peripheral vascular procedures. 'We have received Mr Miguel Uribe Turbay at our Emergency Department. He is receiving priority care from our team of specialists,' it said. Uribe's wife, Maria Claudia Tarazona, issued an emotional appeal on his official X account, asking the public to pray for his recovery.
