Kyle Odom, the former Marine suspected of shooting Idaho pastor Tim 
Remington on Sunday, was arrested Tuesday evening outside the White 
House, according to Coeur d’Alene Police and the Secret Service.

The Secret Service said in a statement that Odom “threw unknown material 
over the south fence line at the White House Complex.”

He was immediately taken into custody.

Hours earlier, someone posted a message to Odom’s Facebook page claiming 
Remington was shot because the pastor was “from Mars” and had “ruined” 
Odom’s life, according to Wash. television station KXLY.

Odom’s profile picture also was changed to a drawing of an alien.

Police in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, where the shooting took place, announced 
Monday that Odom had a history of mental illness.

Remington was shot several times in the skull and back after delivering 
his Sunday sermon at the Altar Church.

The shooting gained national attention, in part because Remington had 
prayed with Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz at a campaign 
rally in Coeur d’Alene on Saturday.

Coeur d’Alene Police Chief Lee White said that a person believed to be 
Odom had sent a “rambling” manifesto to media outlets.

A copy of the manifesto, posted online by television station KHQ, shows 
that a section of it was addressed to President Obama. In it, Odom asks 
Obama to resist the aliens, writing: “It’s time someone took a stand to 
end this nonsense.”

Another section, titled “NOTEWORTHY MARTIANS,” lists 50 members of 
Congress — including members of both parties — and dozens of Israeli 
officials.

The manifesto also makes threats against a second Altar Church pastor, 
who was placed under police protection, according to White.

“What he wrote definitely played a part in raising our awareness and 
concern,” White said of the manifesto.

The police chief added that he believed the Facebook post was genuine, 
as it was “consistent with other information we have received.”

White also read a statement from Odom’s family members, who said they 
were completely unaware of Odom’s plans and asked for privacy.

“We are truly thankful to God he is safe and no one else has been 
injured,” the family said in the statement.

According to KXLY, the following message was posted to Odom’s Facebook 
page on Tuesday:

“Things are not what they appear to be. The world is ruled by ancient 
civilization from Mars. Pastor Tim was one of them, and he was the 
reason my life was ruined. I will be sharing my story with as many 
people as possible. I don’t have time right now, they are chasing me. I 
shot Pastor Tim 12 times, there is no way any human could have survived 
that event. Anyway, I have sent my story to all the major news 
organizations. I have no time, I have to go.”
