SALEM, Ore. (AP) — The 12 members of the Oregon Legislature from Lane County are co-sponsoring a measure to designate a 10-mile stretch of Interstate 105 the “Officer Chris Kilcullen Memorial Highway.”

The Eugene police officer was shot to death April 22 in the line of duty.

The Register Guard reports signs with the designation would be added and the action would not rename the highway or require replacing all the signs.
