State Police say Snook, a 10-year State Police veteran, pushed a DMV employee out of the way after being shot by Rose, who then continued shooting at him.
Rose was shot by a New Castle County police officer through a window.
Snook and Rose were taken to the hospital immediately following the incident, where both died.
The other three people injured, including a second state trooper, had minor, non-gunshot-related injuries and were not taken to the hospital.
