(WLNS) - A U.S. Post Office in Jackson could soon could soon bear the name of a fallen Jackson police officer.

That's after the US House passed Congressman Tim Walberg's bill Monday to rename the post office that's located on West Michigan Avenue in Jackson in the officer's honor.

Officer James Bonneau was shot and killed in the line of duty in May of 2010 while following up on a domestic disturbance complaint.

In a statement released Monday Walberg said that while the events of that day remain a tragedy the House support for renaming the post office is a fitting tribute to honor Bonneau's memory and commitment to the citizens of Jackson. The bill will now make its way to the Senate.
