Kyle Andrew Odom, the suspect in the shooting of an Idaho pastor, was taken into custody Tuesday at the White House, a source at the U.S. Secret Service told CNN.
Odom was taken into custody by the Secret Service after he threw suspicious objects over the south fence of the White House. The incident started about 8:30 p.m. ET, the source said.
Pastor Tim Remington was found by police at 2 p.m. Sunday in the parking lot of the Altar Church in Coeur d’Alene. He had several gunshot wounds but is expected to survive.
Police have said the shooting in Remington’s church was “a preplanned attack,” but they were still searching for a motive.
Church members told CNN affiliate KREM that he is expected to make a full recovery.
Odom, 30, was named as a suspect late Sunday.
“I will tell you that some details surrounding Mr Odom’s planning are disturbing,” Coeur d’Alene Police Department Chief Lee White said at a news conference Monday according to KREM.
White said authorities have not yet found any connection between the suspect and the church. The incident was caught on security cameras.
Remington delivered the invocation at a rally for Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz on Saturday, but police say they have not found any information indicating the shooting was politically motivated.
“We’ve been waiting for somebody who represented God for a long time,” Remington said at the rally. “We are here to pray that God’s will be done.”
The youth pastor at Altar Church told KREM that doctors have said Remington was very lucky to survive the attack.
“We know it’s not luck; it was totally God,” the pastor said. “It’s a miracle.”

thats the problem with todays “christianity”. no one knows who or what “G od” is. basically, men can claim or blame “god” for anything, removing all responsibility from their own actions, as in flip wilsons mantra, “the devil made me do it”.
That’s gotta be the crummiest looking selfie pic I have ever seen. Does Odom’s cell phone only take pictures in colorful Technish!t?
And how the hell did he make it from Idaho to Washington DC without getting stopped in record breaking time? He must have been popping speed the whole way.
I think he might have used a potato to take the selfie. Has about the same megapixels as the camera phone he was using.
“Kyle Andrew Odom, the suspect in the shooting of an Idaho pastor,…”
“Odom was taken into custody by the Secret Service after he threw suspicious objects over the south fence of the White House.”
