Proposal made to name highways in honor of slain officer

A legislative effort is underway to name stretches of two Massachusetts highways in honor of a police officer killed in the line of duty. Three state lawmakers are co-sponsoring the bill to name a section of Route 20 in Auburn and a portion of Route 9 in Leicester after Auburn Police Officer Ronald Tarentino Jr. Tarentino was shot in the back last May by a man he had pulled over.
