The Colombian presidential candidate who was shot in Bogota successfully underwent a first surgery after being flown to a hospital in critical condition, the city’s mayor said early Sunday.

Miguel Uribe “overcame the first surgical intervention,” Bogota mayor Carlos Fernando Galan told the media, and has entered “the critical hours” of recovery.

Right-wing Senator Uribe was attacked during a public event on Saturday, allegedly by a 15-year-old gunman who is now in custody.
