Colombian Senator Miguel Uribe Turbay has died at the hospital. That was confirmed by his wife, Maria Claudia Tarazona. Uribe had been shot three times at a campaign rally in a working class neighborhood in Bogota, a brazen act of political violence that recalls the cartel-driven violence of the 1990s. He was rushed to the hospital, where he remained in critical condition until his death on Monday. Host Marco Werman has the details.
