Manhunt Continues for ‘Armed and Dangerous’ Special Forces Veteran Accused of Shooting Wife

Why this matters: This case highlights the serious issue of domestic violence and the challenges law enforcement faces when pursuing suspects with specialized training. The extensive search and the involvement of multiple agencies underscore the severity of the situation.

The Stewart County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO) and the U.S. Marshals Service are collaborating on the manhunt for Craig Berry. Berry’s military background, including his special forces training, makes him uniquely capable of evading capture. He is described as an excellent swimmer and diver, in good physical shape, and believed to be armed with at least one handgun and extra ammunition.

The search area includes heavily forested terrain with steep hills and deep ravines, further complicating the efforts of law enforcement. Intense rainfall has also hampered the search, forcing investigators to scale back efforts temporarily. The SCSO is not ruling out the possibility that Berry has received outside assistance.

Berry’s wife reported that the shooting occurred after a verbal argument escalated into a physical altercation. She was struck in the head multiple times before Berry allegedly tried to strangle her. She escaped and was shot in the neck while fleeing in her vehicle.

How to Prepare:

Who This Affects Most: This situation affects the residents of Stewart County, particularly those living near the search area. The incident also impacts the students and staff of Stewart County Schools, where Berry’s wife is employed. Support services have been set up to help those who need it.
