Sen. Coons honors fallen Delaware State Police Trooper Matthew 'Ty' Snook
WASHINGTON (WPVI) -- Tributes continue for fallen Delaware State Police Corporal Matthew "Ty" Snook.
Sen. Chris Coons delivered a speech on the Senate floor in Washington on Tuesday to honor Snook.
A gunman shot and killed the trooper inside a DMV office in Minquadale two days before Christmas.
During his speech, Senator Coons reflected on Snook's life as a father, husband, and beloved community servant.
"What makes a hero? Someone whose instinct is protection. Someone whose service is about loving others, even when faced with mortal pain and fear. Corporal Snook's family and friends knew a hero," Coons said.
Senator Coons also said that he and Senator Lisa Blunt-Rochester have introduced a resolution of the Senate that would honor Corporal Snook's life and bravery.
