BOGOTA (Reuters) -Colombian Senator Miguel Uribe, who has been hospitalized since he was shot in the head earlier this month during a campaign event, has been transferred to emergency surgery for a brain bleed, the Santa Fe Foundation hospital said on Monday.  Uribe, 39, a potential presidential candidate, was shot in Bogota on June 7 during a rally.  “Patient Miguel Uribe Turbay required transfer to surgery a few minutes ago for an urgent neurological procedure, because of clinical evidence and imaging showing an acute inter-cerebral bleed,” the hospital said in a statement.  The shooting, which was caught on video, has unnerved the nation which saw a streak of candidates assassinated in the 1980s and 1990s.  Three suspects, including a 15-year-old alleged to be the shooter, are in custody.
