Special Forces Veteran Wanted for Murder Found Dead in Tennessee Woods

A special forces veteran wanted for second degree attempted murder was found dead Wednesday in woods “several miles from his home,” according to CNN.

Preliminary findings indicate the cause of death of the veteran, Craig Berry, was a self-inflicted gunshot wound and it is thought that “he likely died not long after he fled early on May 1.”

NBC News reported a statement from the U.S. Marshals Service, which said, “We can confirm Craig Mark Berry is deceased and no longer a threat to the public.”

Breitbart News reported that Berry was wanted for allegedly shooting his wife on Friday. Law enforcement described him as “armed and dangerous,” noting that he was armed with a handgun and extra ammunition.

Berry is believed to have shot his wife as she fled their Dover, Tennessee, home. His wife survived the incident.
