Condolences flooded in for Yagan from friends, family and fellow law enforcers from across the U.S.

"Tomorrow is never promised," said Officer Ahmed Alagha of the Bergenfield Police Department. "I still can’t believe [you're] gone Tamby Yagan."

"This is an absolute tragic and heartbreaking loss of a loved man. Too young too soon," another person wrote on his Facebook page.
