Pastor & Idaho Rep. Shot Multiple Times Speaks Out (Video)

Idaho Representative and pastor Tim Remington was shot multiple times in 2016 but survived and boy, does he have a tale to tell!

First, as a little background, AG News reported:

Thirty-year-old Kyle Odom, a former Marine, took a military stance, raised his weapon, and fired 12 rounds of .45-caliber hollow-point bullets from a distance of approximately 15 feet away at the back of pastor Tim Remington. As Remington (then 55) fell to the ground, blood pouring from gaping wounds, Odom returned to his car and drove away, satisfied he had completed his task of ridding Earth of Remington.

It was Sunday, March 6, 2016, when Odom — who claims voices inside of his head were directing him — opened fire on the unsuspecting Remington. An Assemblies of God minister with the Northwest Ministry Network who is also lead pastor at The Altar church in Coeur d’Alene (pronounced core duh-lane), Idaho, Remington had just finished Sunday morning services, followed by an after-service counseling session with a family. He was outside the church, speaking on his cell phone with his son, Jadon, confirming lunch plans, when Odom opened fire.

“I had gone to the grocery store while I was waiting to hear where we were going to eat,” says Cindy, Tim’s wife of 42 years. “But I forgot that I still had my ringer off from church. When we walked out of the store, I remembered and turned it back on. I looked and saw I had missed a call from Tim and multiple others.

Cindy attempted to return Tim’s call. No answer. She then called Jadon, who had also attempted to call her. His words, at first, caused her to just shake her head as Tim and the boys regularly teased her about having her phone off and they could be stuck in a ditch somewhere.

“He said, ‘Mom, Dad’s been shot,’” Cindy recalls. “I thought he was joking. But he repeated that Tim had been shot and he was on the way to the hospital.”

Jadon later told Cindy that he was talking on the phone with Tim when Odom began shooting.

“Jadon told me it sounded like someone pounding on a metal door,” Cindy says, “and then the phone dropped to the ground and he heard Tim struggling, gurgling blood. He then heard a man (who apparently had called 911) say, ‘Pastor Tim Remington has been shot, corner of 9th and Best.’ That’s how Jadon learned about what happened.”

THE DAMAGE DONE

Some may not be aware why being shot with a hollow-point bullet can be so life threatening. According to targetsportsusa.com, a hollow-point bullet “mushrooms” when it strikes, causing a significantly larger wound channel and more bleeding than a standard bullet. Also, due to the mushrooming, a hollow-point bullet typically lodges in the body rather than passing through.

What does it feel like to be shot multiple times with .45 caliber (meaning roughly .45 inches in diameter prior to being fired) hollow-point bullets at point-blank range? Few people live long enough to say, but Tim makes a point that few may consider. In addition to doing extensive damage to flesh and bone, a fired bullet is scorching hot, with the heat painfully dissipating into flesh and/or bone, depending on where it lodges.

“The heat from one of the bullets damaged Tim’s colon,” Cindy says, which led to Tim having to use a colostomy bag for seven months.

Of the 12 rounds fired, six bullets found their mark.

“One bullet went just 1 millimeter to the right of my spine up by the shoulder blade and another went through my belt and then through the pelvic bone,” Tim says. “A third went through the upper part of my right arm, shattering my humerus. Another hit me in the shoulder, exited, and then struck me in the head.”

Two more bullets also struck Tim’s brachial plexus (the network of nerves that sends signals from the spinal cord to the shoulder, arm, and hand).

“The surgeon, who is a believer, later told me that my right arm was in 128 pieces, including my shoulder, which, according to him, could best be envisioned if you took a glass, wrapped it completely in duct tape, and then struck it repeatedly with a hammer. What you would have once you removed the tape is fragments and powdered glass — and that’s what my shoulder looked like, with fragments of bone scattered in the surrounding muscle tissue.”

The bullet that struck Tim twice, exiting the shoulder area and then striking Tim in the head, left doctors amazed.

“That bullet made a dime-size hole in Tim’s head and somehow stopped right at the dura (membrane of connective tissues that surrounds the brain),” Cindy says. “One of the doctors told me if we were looking for a miracle that was a miracle.”

To understand how badly Tim was wounded, an officer arriving on the scene, in an attempt to slow the blood loss, stuck three of his fingers into the bullet wounds in Tim’s back. Did it make a difference? It may have as every drop ended up counting.

“By the time Tim got to the OR (operating room), doctors told me that Tim had lost 90% of his blood — he should have been dead,” Cindy says.

She says she learned (after Tim was safely recovering) that by the time she arrived at the hospital, few of the staff believed Tim would survive surgery — and questioned why he wasn’t already dead.

“When they receive a call of multiple gunshots, a person is typically not expected to survive the ride to the hospital,” Cindy says. “A kind nurse wanted to give the family a chance to see him before going into the operating room. She led us to where Tim was lying on a gurney, and even as he was covered in blood and in terrible pain, he was still alert.”

During that short time, where they emphatically expressed their love for each other as well as for the kids, Cindy asked Tim if he knew what had happened — he did not. She explained he’d been shot. His response, though murmured through his intense pain, was in his typical humor: “Well, I kinda figured that.” However, at that time, no one knew who the assailant was for sure or why Tim was targeted.

But those words of dry humor simply reenforced to Cindy what she believed God had already spoken to her — Tim was going to live!

BULLET MIRACLES

Twelve bullets were fired by Odom . . . only six struck Tim, with one bullet making three wounds (entry, exit, and re-entry). What happened to the other six?

One bullet struck a car, and two bullets were never accounted for, apparently clean misses (by a former Marine at 15 feet!). But Cindy says that police reports confirm that one fired bullet (mushroomed) was found on the parking lot between where Odom stood and Tim was. That made no sense. Tim was wearing a dress shirt, a thin suit vest, and a suit coat — not body armor.

And if that didn’t make any sense, the other two bullets — what Cindy, Tim, and doctors agree would have likely been “kill shots” — were discovered in the most unusual of positions.

One fully mushroomed bullet had penetrated Tim’s jacket and vest, but stopped at the fabric of his shirt near the center of his back. The final bullet’s location was stranger still; it was found in Tim’s front left breast pocket of his suit coat, roughly right in front of his heart, fully mushroomed.

“This was God telling me, ‘If you wondered if I stopped those bullets, here is the proof,” Cindy says.

She then points out that even the bullet that ended up damaging Tim’s colon was a miracle as well. The bullet made a hole in Tim’s pelvic bone rather than fracturing it and then curved upwards rather than continuing and perhaps striking an artery or other organs. Doctors didn’t have an explanation as to why the bullet changed directions after going through the bone.

Read the rest…

Investigative journalist Alex Newman interviewed Remington about the assault.

Alex Newman starts off this episode of The Sentinel Report strongly with Tim Remington, a pastor who was shot with multiple hollow-point bullets at close range and who credits God’s providence for his miraculous preservation.

Next up on the show, Arnoldo Genuzio, the author of the book “Jesus Said: See That No One Misleads You,” steps into the program to break down how believers in Jesus Christ can be protected from deception in a world hostile to truth.

Newman’s final guest, Terry Newsome, the host of the “Behind Enemy Lines” podcast, joins the show to break down the madness going on with immigration and education in America’s inner cities, sharing interviews he conducted with illegal immigrants.

Finally, in the news, Alex breaks down America’s never-ending Ukraine funding and Biden’s most recent treasonous acts.
