A manhunt is underway for Craig Berry, a 53-year-old U.S. special forces veteran with extensive survival training, accused of shooting his wife. The Stewart County Sheriff's Office has issued a warrant for Berry on suspicion of second-degree attempted murder.
Details of the Incident
Authorities report that the shooting occurred at the couple's residence in Stewart County, Georgia. Berry's wife was transported to a local hospital with serious injuries but is expected to survive. Berry fled the scene before law enforcement arrived.
Berry is a former member of elite U.S. special forces units and has received advanced survival training, raising concerns about his ability to evade capture. He is considered armed and dangerous.
Search Efforts
Local, state, and federal agencies are collaborating in the search, utilizing drones, K-9 units, and aerial surveillance. The U.S. Marshals Service has joined the investigation. Authorities urge the public to report any sightings but warn against approaching Berry.
Berry is described as a white male, approximately 6 feet tall, weighing 200 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. He was last seen driving a dark-colored pickup truck with Georgia license plates.
The manhunt has intensified as Berry's survival skills could allow him to live off the land in remote areas. Law enforcement is focusing on wooded regions and rural properties near the state line.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Stewart County Sheriff's Office or the nearest FBI field office.
