Political violence has become rarer in recent years, with the government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia reaching a peace deal in 2016.

Miguel Uribe Turbay, a Colombian senator and presidential hopeful who was hospitalized after being shot at a campaign event more than two months ago, has died, his wife announced on Monday.

Mr. Uribe, a presidential hopeful, was shot in June at a campaign rally in Bogotá in an attack that shocked the nation.
