<br>

<font size="+1">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.<br>
<br>
The Secret Service said in a statement that Odom “threw unknown
material over the south fence line at the White House Complex.”<br>
<br>
He was immediately taken into custody.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Odom’s profile picture also was changed to a drawing of an alien.<br>
<br>
Police in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, where the shooting took place,
announced Monday that Odom had a history of mental illness.<br>
<br>
Remington was shot several times in the skull and back after
delivering his Sunday sermon at the Altar Church.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Coeur d’Alene Police Chief Lee White said that a person believed
to be Odom had sent a “rambling” manifesto to media outlets.<br>
<br>
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.”<br>
<br>
Another section, titled “NOTEWORTHY MARTIANS,” lists 50 members of
Congress — including members of both parties — and dozens of
Israeli officials.<br>
<br>
The manifesto also makes threats against a second Altar Church
pastor, who was placed under police protection, according to
White.<br>
<br>
“What he wrote definitely played a part in raising our awareness
and concern,” White said of the manifesto.<br>
<br>
The police chief added that he believed the Facebook post was
genuine, as it was “consistent with other information we have
received.”<br>
<br>
White also read a statement from Odom’s family members, who said
they were completely unaware of Odom’s plans and asked for
privacy.<br>
<br>
“We are truly thankful to God he is safe and no one else has been
injured,” the family said in the statement.<br>
<br>
According to KXLY, the following message was posted to Odom’s
Facebook page on Tuesday:<br>
<br>
“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.”<br>
