Delaware state police trooper killed in DMV shooting identified as Cpl. Matthew T. Snook


quote:

Delaware State Police have identified the trooper who was killed in a shooting at a DMV facility in New Castle County on Tuesday afternoon.

Corporal Grade One Matthew T. “Ty” Snook, 34, of Hockessin, Delaware, was “a dedicated 10-year veteran of the Delaware State Police,” officials said Wednesday afternoon.

He is survived by his wife and their one-year-old daughter.

State police said in a statement that Snook was known as “a dependable, professional, and committed trooper.”

“A native Delawarean, Ty was a graduate of Saint Mark’s High School and the University of Maryland, where he was a member of the wrestling team. He was a respected colleague, a trusted partner, and a beloved member of both the Delaware State Police and the community he served,” the statement continued.

The shooting happened around 2 p.m. Tuesday at the DMV facility on Hessler Boulevard in Minquadale.

Police say a 44-year-old suspect entered the DMV as a customer.

A short time later, authorities say the suspect approached Snook as he was sitting at the reception desk and shot him. Snook was there working an overtime shift.

After being shot, police say Snook pushed a DMV employee out of harm’s way as the suspect shot him again. A New Castle County police officer then confronted, shot and killed the gunman.





X is saying it was a black dude which would explain why there hasn't been much mentioned by the MSM



quote:

On December 23, 2025, 44-year-old black male Avery Young entered the Delaware DMV on Hessler Boulevard in Wilmington and walked up to the reception desk where Delaware State Police Corporal Matthew T. "Ty" Snook was working an overtime shift.

Young opened fire point-blank, shooting the 34-year-old white trooper. Despite being hit, Snook heroically pushed a civilian DMV employee out of the way before Young shot him again. Snook, a 10-year veteran, husband, and father to a one-year-old daughter, died at the hospital.

Responding officers, including a New Castle County policeman, confronted Young and fatally shot him. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

This happened in a posted gun-free zone, despite Delaware's strict gun laws.

Reports indicate Avery Young had a lengthy criminal history, though full details remain limited in official releases as of December 25.

Mainstream media has largely downplayed the story and has not released Young's mugshot, unlike in cases with reversed racial dynamics.

Prayers for Trooper Snook's family and gratitude for his sacrifice.

I don’t want to live around them and actively avoid them in public. Statistics don’t lie

That's impossible. The geniuses of the poliboard convinced me that only Biden allowed criminals back out on the street.

The state

quote:

The person in the top prosecutorial role for the state of Delaware, which includes New Castle County, is Attorney General Kathy Jennings, a Democrat.

In Delaware, the chief law enforcement officer and prosecutor is the Attorney General, an elected statewide position, rather than a county-level District Attorney (DA).

Current Democratic Officeholder
Kathy Jennings (Democratic Party) is the current Attorney General of Delaware.

She was most recently re-elected in November 2022 and assumed office for her current term on January 1, 2023.

Her current term ends on January 5, 2027, and she has already declared her candidacy for re-election in the Democratic primary scheduled for September 15, 2026.


It happened in New Castle County. Aaron Goldstein is the county attorney.

quote:

Aaron Goldstein is currently serving as the County Attorney for New Castle County, Delaware — essentially the chief legal officer for the county government, providing legal advice, managing litigation and legal services for county departments, and guiding county legal policy.


He's a Democrat too Wow! What a shocker. Dems letting criminals go.

Didn't you folks blame Biden for these types of crimes when he was in office? But now that Trump is in office, it's somebody else's fault? Is that how the game is played around here?

Mental Illness is a major problem in this country. We need more funding to deal with this crisis.

No. We blame Dems as a whole for letting criminals go free and even raising money for their bail.

Remember when Kamala was VP and was posting links for people to donate bail money to antifa terrorists? I do.

I just thank God that no criminal in a Republican run state has ever committed a crime. Whew, huh?

It's most assuredly a problem. I'm not sure why you're singling out Democrats. I guess that's just what we do here.

You realize that Democrats have dominated Delaware politics for decades, right?

Its the state that kept re-electing Joe Biden for 36 years and hasn't had a Republican governor since 1993. But somehow its Trump's fault that Delaware's local prosecutors and judges kept letting someone out of jail.

Are you under the impression that a lot of red states are letting people out over and over again with things like cashless bail and/or raising money for their bail?

That doesn't happen in my parish with a republican DA.

The only judge who used to do that was a racist black judge who had a history of shady dealings, including requesting political favors for his son, who was criminally charged.
