Colombia 27-year-old psychologist Catherin Paola Torres remains in a critical fight for her life after being shot on the night of March 22 while speaking with her mother on the terrace of her home in the Venezuela neighborhood of Uribia, La Guajira. Despite being eight months pregnant, she was attacked by an armed assailant. Seriously wounded, she was rushed to a medical center in Maicao, where she continues to receive intensive care. In the midst of the tragedy, her baby girl, Salomé, was born prematurely via emergency cesarean. Miraculously, the newborn is stable and has become a powerful symbol of hope for the family. As of now, Catherin’s condition remains critical, and she is under strict medical observation as she battles to survive. Authorities are investigating the attack, considering hypotheses such as a possible settling of scores or a personal conflict. The case is still ongoing.
