BURLINGTON (AP) - Mitt Romney's presidential campaign has canceled an
event planned for Sunday in Pueblo, Colo., because of the crash of a small
aircraft at the Pueblo airport.
Romney campaign spokesman Rick Gorka says the crash at Pueblo Memorial
Airport is under investigation and the campaign did not want to interfere with
the investigation or any emergency response efforts. The event was scheduled to
be held at an aircraft museum near the airport.
Colorado is among a handful of battleground states being heavily courted by
Romney and President Barack Obama.
Media reports in the state said that an experimental plane crashed at the
airport Sunday morning, killing one person and closing two runways.
