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 suspected shooter, 30-year-old Kyle Andrew Odom, of Coeur d’Alene, fled the scene in a silver 2004 Honda Accord with Idaho license plate K578519, police said. Odom has blond hair and blue eyes, is 6 feet tall and weighs about 170 pounds. He is considered armed and dangerous, police said. Anyone who knows his location is asked to call 911/ Scott Maben , SR.
