Mathew Charles Lamb
Canadian mass shooter.
Case Synopsis
18-year-old Mathew Charles Lamb went on a shooting rampage in Windsor, Ontario, killing two young strangers and wounding two others without apparent motive. Raised in a violent and unstable home, Lamb had a long history of delinquency and psychological instability. Declared not guilty by reason of insanity, he was committed to a psychiatric hospital instead of prison. After years of treatment, he was released and remarkably transformed his life, joining the Rhodesian Army as a paratrooper. A decade after his crimes, Lamb was killed in combat in 1976, leaving behind a haunting story of violence, redemption, and a life that swung between chaos and purpose.
