Yahoo • • nation
Key Points:
- Authorities in Tennessee are conducting an intensive manhunt for Craig Berry, a retired special forces veteran suspected of shooting his wife in Dover and fleeing into nearby woods.
- Berry is considered highly dangerous due to his military survival training, physical fitness, swimming and diving skills, and is armed with at least one handgun and extra ammunition.
- The search is complicated by the rugged terrain near the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area, one of the largest undeveloped forests in the eastern U.S., and investigators are not ruling out outside assistance.
- Stewart County Middle School was placed on a soft lockdown during the search, though officials confirmed there was no direct threat to the school or students.
- A warrant has been issued for Berry’s arrest on second-degree attempted murder charges; his wife has been released from the hospital, and the investigation remains ongoing.
