The Madison Police Department lowered its flags Friday in honor of fallen Madison police officer Horren Randy Tyler who died after being shot in a standoff following a domestic dispute in Brandon on Thursday, June 1.

Black and blue ribbons were placed at the front entrance of the police department doors and community residents reportedly came to pay their respects.

Thus far, numerous people with heavy hearts have offered condolences and prayers.

The passing and mourning of Madison Police officer Tyler have affected not only the Madison Police Department but other members of police agencies in the metropolitan area, family and friends.

"In addition to being a valued member of the Department's Special Response Team, Randy Tyler was the Department's Field Training Coordinator, responsible for overseeing the training and career development of newly hired police officers," a statement from the Madison Police Department reads. "He was also a supervisor in the Department's Narcotics Division. Before working at Madison, Randy Tyler retired as the Chief of Police for the Ridgeland Police Department. Chief Tyler was a graduate of the 228th Session of the F.B.I. National Academy in Quantico, VA and was an active member of the M.S. Chapter of the F.B.I. National Academy Associates."

Tyler had served 30 years in law enforcement including 27 years with the Ridgeland Police Department.

Funeral arrangements have not yet been completed and will be announced once they have been finalized, officials said.
