Pastor survives murder attempt

Members of a Coeur d’Alene church prayed Sunday night for the recovery of their pastor after he was gunned down earlier in the day by an assailant in the church parking lot. And they marveled at reports from the hospital that Pastor Tim Remington was expected to pull through despite being shot as many as six times, including in the head and a lung. “He’s absolutely fine,” said John Padula, outreach pastor at Altar Church, after speaking with doctors at Kootenai Health. The shooter fled the scene in a silver car and remained at large Sunday night. “We currently have several leads and are following up on them,” Coeur d’Alene police Detective Jared Reneau said/ Scott Maben , SR.
