[1][2] On March 6, 2016, Kyle Odom, an individual fixated with alien conspiracy theories, shot Remington six times in the back and once in the head at Altar Church.
Odom mailed a manifesto to his family and media outlets, expressing his intent to murder Remington and his belief that he was part of an alien conspiracy to enslave humanity.
[4] After successfully evading police, Odom boarded a flight to Washington, D.C. and approached the White House, at which point he began tossing items over the fence, including flash drives and a twenty-five-page manifesto addressed to then United States president Barack Obama.
[3][8][9][10] Odom was apprehended by United States Secret Service members at 8:27 p.m., though the arrest was related to his activity at the White House and not to the attempt on Remington's life.
[4][11] In July 2017, Odom pleaded guilty to aggravated battery with a felony firearm and was sentenced to twenty-five years in prison.
