Tennessee authorities announced that a military special forces veteran accused of shooting his wife has been found dead following a six-day manhunt.
The Stewart County Sheriff's Office said in a May 6 social media post that Craig Berry was found dead from what investigators indicated was "a self-inflicted gunshot wound." The U.S. Marshals Service confirmed the discovery in a statement to USA TODAY, saying that Berry "is deceased and no longer a threat to the public."
A May 1 post from the sheriff said that deputies responded to a "domestic altercation" that morning at about 1:30 a.m. The office alleged that Berry shot his wife during the altercation and fled into the woods.
In a May 4 social media post the sheriff's office described Berry as having "extensive training in survival tactics."
Berry had a warrant out against him for second-degree attempted murder in the alleged shooting of his wife, authorities said. His wife was taken to a medical facility, and her condition was not made public and remains unclear as of May 6.
