Authorities in Tennessee search for Craig Berry, a retired U.S. Army Special Forces veteran, after he is accused of shooting his wife during a domestic incident at their home in the Dover area. Multiple outlets report the shooting occurred during the early hours of May 1 or around that time, and that Berry fled into nearby rural woodlands, prompting a large, multiagency manhunt. Sources describe Berry as armed and dangerous and note he has training that authorities say could help him survive outdoors and evade law enforcement. The search covers parts of northern rural Tennessee and includes efforts by local, state, and federal agencies.
The manhunt ends when Berry is found dead on Wednesday, according to the Stewart County Sheriff’s Office. The Independent reports authorities say his death was due to a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Other reports characterize his death as an apparent gunshot wound. Across coverage, officials say Berry remained a person of interest while the search was ongoing, and that his death halts the active search for him.
