The shooting took place as a result of a custody dispute, according to the probable cause statement filed today in Newton County Circuit Court.
Rickey Lamb, who at one time had custody of his son and Tyminski's children, said his son told him the next time he, Christopher Lamb, got the children, his father would not get them back.
From the probable cause statement:
Rickey Lamb stated he went to Christopher Lamb's house to scare him so he would not keep the children. (He) stated he knew Christopher Lamb had a single shot shotgun so he took his 30-06 rifle with him for protection.
Rickey Lamb stated when he pulled into the driveway, Christopher Lamb knelt down behind a tree and fired (his) shotgun at him. Rickey Lamb stated he then grabbed his rifle and shot (his son).
(He) stated Christopher Lamb dropped the shotgun. Sarah Tyminski tried to pick the shotgun up and Rickey Lamb shot her. (He) stated Christopher Lamb fired the shotgun again at (him), hitting him in the left shoulder. Rickey Lamb then drove home.
Teresa Brown, who lives with Christopher Lamb and Sarah Tyminski, was inside the house when the crime occurred. (She) stated she was in the house and heard Christopher Lamb on the phone arguing with his father about the kids. (She) stated when Rickey Lamb pulled up the house, (he) started shooting.
(She) stated Christopher Lamb got his gun and shot at Rickey Lamb after Rickey had already shot Christopher and Sarah.
Sarah Tyminski was found in the front yard with what appeared to be a single gunshot wound to the hand and the side of her abdomen. (She) was pronounced dead at the scene.
Christopher Lamb was found inside the house near the front door He was transported to the hospitl and is in critical condition.

This is tragic and very interesting how a father and son get to the point they have a gun battle over a young child that is blood to both!
There are way to many grandparents supporting their grown children and raising their grandchildren.
If adults took care of themselves and their children instead of forcing the burden on others, this may not have happened. Looks like the dad finally snapped. Sad for everyone, but I am angry at the parents for pushing the Dad to his limits. They were mostly likely diarespectful to him and unappreciative of all he has done to help them. Unfortunately now this has happened and the situation has become even worse.
Parents and Grandparents ahould stop enabling their children and force them to be responsible for their own.
Trashiest story I've seen all day.
I agree.
But he shot them. Let's not completely blame them.
Those poor kids have to live with the fact that their grandfather killed their mother and shot their dad.
There has got to be way more to this story. 1.) Why did the grandfather have custody of the children? 2.) What happened to the charges Chris had against him for beating Sarah last year? 3.) Did the two get custody of the kids again? 4.)This whole situation is terrible but not too sure the father should be tried for murder... Let's let the jury decide!
6:18. The grandparents raising their grandkids are the same people that raised the parents.
The Apple just doesn’t fall far from the tree. It’s very sad, but true.
Rick and sharon are good people ! This is a sad mess ! Prayers for all
What in the hell are you talking about? Not sure if he should stand trial for murder? He literally MURDERED someone. The very definition of committing murder.
Good people do not shoot other people.
2:31 is telling the truth.
He should be tried on every charge he has against him. It wasn't like it was a heat of the moment argument, he had to drive to get to his sons house, with gun in tow. He went there looking for a confrontation. J S
None of you know the entire story not of you know the background we have with that man that is Amonster. With that being said you have no frame of reference you are like a child that has wandered into the middle of a movie and being such you should just set quietly and observe then go back and find out what happened from the beginning before you make any conclusions assumptions or further statements the entire reason Sarah and I had issues as adults with drug problems and such was for the simple fact that that man was the person that had got us started on methamphetamine to begin with don't just ask around he'll find opinions or secondhand information wait to read the book
