Officials are releasing more details about the incident that led to a retired Army Special Forces veteran allegedly trying to kill his wife, sparking a massive multi-agency manhunt.
Craig Berry allegedly shot his wife during a domestic incident at the couple's house in Dover, Tennessee, early Friday morning before he fled the area. He's wanted on charges of attempted second-degree murder, aggravated assault, domestic assault and leaving the scene of an accident.
Stewart County Sheriff Frankie Gray told Iraq four times between 2003 and 2014, according to the spokesperson.
In the hours after the shooting, troopers from the Tennessee Highway Patrol and deputies and investigators from the Stewart County Sheriff's Office searched through a densely wooded area for Berry, according to a video released by the state agency.
In an earlier social media post, the sheriff's office warned that Berry is considered "armed and dangerous."
Deputies added that Berry is an "excellent swimmer and diver" and is believed to be in "good physical shape," stating he has "extensive training" in survival tactics.
Stewart County Schools said in a statement on Facebook that Berry's wife is a schoolteacher.
"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 school district said.
"Our thoughts are with our staff member and her loved ones during this time. We will continue to respect her privacy."
