Police Capture Man Wanted In 4 Killings After Week On Run

A
weeklong manhunt for a suspect wanted in the killings of four people
ended without another shot fired Monday morning as hundreds of officers
surrounded him in South Carolina, authorities said.
Neither Tyler Terry
nor the more than 300 officers searching for him were hurt during his
arrest, the Chester County Sheriff’s Office posted on Twitter. The
manhunt finally ended after at least three confirmed sightings of Terry
since he ran from a wrecked car after firing on Chester County deputies
on May 17.
Deputies released photos of Terry's arrest showing an officer
giving him a bottle of sports drink as he sat on a pickup tailgate with
his hands cuffed behind him.
Terry was wearing dirty pants, socks with
no shoes and a T-shirt ripped nearly in half.
Investigators didn’t think
Terry was getting help from anyone but broke into vehicles — or
possibly barns and sheds — and lived off the land. He managed to steal a
gun, water, shirt and shoes from an unlocked work truck last week,
authorities said.
Terry apparently spent the week in the same small
area, eluding dozens of officers who methodically shrunk where they
searched and staying out of sight of helicopters that were overhead most
of the time.
