Special Forces Veteran Sought in Tennessee Woods After Shooting Wife

Law enforcement pursued a new lead hours after Craig Berry allegedly shot his wife, with video showing a bloodhound leading troopers through dense woods as the armed fugitive moved deeper into rugged terrain.

Video obtained by Fox News Digital from the Tennessee Highway Patrol captures troopers, deputies and investigators from the Stewart County Sheriff’s Office searching with a K9 unit just hours after the May 1 shooting. Berry, a Special Forces-trained suspect authorities call armed and dangerous, allegedly shot his wife in a domestic incident before fleeing into surrounding woods, sparking a large manhunt. The victim survived and received hospital treatment.

Investigators secured a second-degree attempted murder warrant for Berry on May 4.

Four days after Berry vanished, the veteran remains at large as local, state and federal agencies search rural Tennessee. Authorities say Berry carries at least one handgun, possibly more ammunition, and poses a high risk.

"He is very familiar with the area," Sheriff Frankie Gray said.

A trail camera snapped a photo of a camouflaged person believed to be Berry, according to the sheriff's office. "We’re actively looking, but have NO idea if he is still in the area, so we’re asking you to please check your trail cameras, cause we’re not ruling anything out," the office posted. "We are asking if you see anything please report any sightings call 911, and remain on ALERT and lock all your doors."

The Stewart County Sheriff's Office describes Berry as a retired Special Forces veteran in camouflage who is armed and dangerous. Deputies note he is an excellent swimmer and diver in good physical shape with extensive survival training.

Stewart County Schools stated on Facebook that Berry's wife, whose condition remains unknown, teaches at the district. "We are aware of a serious incident involving one of our staff members. We understand this news may be upsetting to students, staff, and families. Please know that this incident did not occur on school grounds, and there is no ongoing threat to our schools," the district said. "Our thoughts are with our staff member and her loved ones during this time. We will continue to respect her privacy."

Berry is not believed to have a phone or other communication device after fleeing Friday morning. The search area has grown from near Old Paris Highway to include Gray’s Landing and routes along highways 232 and 79.

Dover, population about 2,000, sits two hours from Nashville. Sheriff Gray called tracking Berry a lengthy process and told residents to lock their doors.

The Tennessee Highway Patrol told Fox News Digital it supports the Stewart County Sheriff's Office, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and U.S. Marshals Service with helicopters and troopers as needed. Contact the sheriff’s office at 931-232-6863 with tips on Berry's location.
