Suspect in Idaho minister's shooting identified by police

The story so far:

Pastor Tim Remington, who runs a megachurch called The Altar in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, and who also operates a drug and alcohol rehab facility called Good Samaritan Rehabilitation, was shot six times on Sunday morning as he left the church after services. Well, now they know who they're looking for:

Kyle Andrew Odom, who graduated from Lake City High School, is described by law enforcement investigators as a white male with blond hair and blue eyes who weighs approximately 170 pounds and is 6 feet tall. It is believed that Odom fled the shooting scene at Altar Church in a silver Honda Accord with Idaho plates K578519, and police say he should be considered armed and dangerous.

In 2006, Odom enlisted in the Marine Corps and was stationed at Camp Pendleton in Southern Calif. According to his resume, Odom was a corporal who worked as a flight equipment technician.
A Marine Corps spokeswoman confirmed Monday that he served a tour of duty in Iraq and added that he was enlisted through 2010.


There's no indication that Mr. Odom was ever a client of Pastor Remington's. Parishioners report they'd never seen the guy before Sunday, and that he was "wandering in and out" of the building during the service.
