Man who tried to kill pastor arrested after disturbing discovery

A former Marine who shot a prominent pastor in Idaho three days ago was being held in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday after he was taken into custody outside the White House, authorities said.
Kyle Odom, 30, was nabbed after throwing "non-hazardous" material onto the South Lawn, the Secret Service said in a statement. Agents searched the law enforcement database and found Odom faced a warrant for attempted first-degree murder in Coeur d'Alene.
Odom had been the subject of a manhunt since police say he shot the Rev. Tim Remington several times in the parking lot of the Altar Church in Coeur d'Alene after services Sunday. Remington remains hospitalized in stable condition.
Odom sent a manifesto to his family mentioning U.S. senators and House members, but it was rambling and there were no specific threats, Coeur d'Alene Police Chief Lee White said. The manifesto also listed Israeli government officials, according to White.
White said the information indicated the attack on Remington was planned, not random. The documents also indicated that a second person at the church may also have been targeted.
Odom's family issued a statement saying it was thankful Odom was captured without further incident.
"As Kyle was not living with us, we are learning of his plans as they are being revealed by the police," the statement said. "We are truly thankful to God he is safe and no one else is injured. Please respect our family's privacy at this difficult time."
