(Reuters) - President Barack Obama travels to Colorado on Sunday to meet families bereaved after a "demonic" gunman went on a shooting rampage at a movie theater in a Denver suburb, killing at least 12 people and wounding 58.
Does it sounds awkward or incorrect to say "President Barack Obama goes to Colorado" or "President Barack Obama visits Colorado" instead of President Barack Obama travels to Colorado?
