Military-trained fugitive accused of shooting wife eludes manhunt in rural woodlands
Authorities say Berry is armed with at least one handgun and may have extra ammunition as multiple agencies search rural Tennessee.
- On Monday, a multiagency manhunt stretched into its fourth day as law enforcement officials searched a remote stretch of rural Tennessee for Craig Berry, a retired Army Special Forces veteran accused of shooting his wife on May 1.
- According to Sheriff Frankie Gray, the incident began at around 11:30 p.m. Thursday near 133 Old Paris Highway, where Berry fled into the woods before deputies arrived at the scene.
- The search has steadily expanded from the initial scene to include corridors along highways 232 and 79, involving the Tennessee Highway Patrol and U.S. Marshals Service; investigators confirmed Berry was recently captured on a trail camera wearing camouflage clothing.
- Berry's wife remains hospitalized with an unknown condition after fleeing the home, and authorities warn residents not to approach the fugitive, who is armed with at least one handgun, and urge anyone with information to call 911 immediately.
- Officials have not ruled out the possibility that Berry received outside assistance following the shooting, and law enforcement began shifting tactics Monday, scaling back some broad woodland sweeps while preparing for more targeted searches based on new leads.
