Manhunt continues for shooting suspect, a former Marine who served in Iraq

COEUR d'ALENE — A manhunt continues for the 30-year old Coeur d'Alene man who allegedly shot Pastor Tim Remington multiple times Sunday afternoon.

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.

A member of Odom's family issued the following statement to members of the media Monday:

"Our family is devastated by Sunday's events. We are praying for Pastor Tim, his family and his continued recovery. We are also praying for Kyle's safe return and to get the help he needs. We love you Kyle! Please respect our family's privacy during this trying time."

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.

During his time in the Marines, Odom stated that he performed maintenance on flight equipment and aircraft. His resume also notes that he earned several awards while enlisted, including a Good Conduct Medal, National Service Medal, and a Sea Service Deployment Award.

Following his time in the Marine Corps, Odom enrolled at the University of Idaho. He studied biochemistry and, according to university officials, graduated with honors in 2014.

Odom describes himself in his resume as a "results-driven, quality-minded, detail oriented" individual with "strong critical and creative thinking skills." He also states that he has volunteer experience with Habitat for Humanity and Meals on Wheels.

A search of Odom's Facebook profile yields little information. He has 28 friends on the social media website, and Odom wrote the following quote from William Shakespeare's "Hamlet" in his about me section:

"There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so."

Court records indicate Odom has no criminal history in Idaho other than three traffic violations, the most recent of which occurred in 2011. Police have not suggested a motive for the Sunday afternoon assault.

Anyone with information on Odom's whereabouts is encouraged to call 911.
