Toronto CEO, daughters shot in Bridle Path home invasion identified: reports

Three suspects 'fired their guns multiple times, and one victim was struck with a hammer,' police say

Toronto real estate magnate David Morton and his two adult daughters were gravely wounded in a violent home invasion on Thursday morning in Bridle Path, police confirmed. The 75-year-old CEO of THE MAC Group and his 26- and 28-year-old daughters were shot during the break-in at their upscale residence in the Post Road and Hyde Park Circle neighborhood.

Morton's wife, Doriana Zohil-Morton, sustained injuries from a hammer attack but has since been discharged from the hospital. Police have vowed to relentlessly pursue the three male suspects, described as young, thin individuals dressed in all dark clothing and wearing face masks. The trio allegedly broke into the home through the rear, confronted the occupants on the second floor, and demanded personal valuables before resorting to gunfire.

Chief Myron Demkiw assured residents that an increased police presence was anticipated in the area, and additional resources were being allocated to combat the surge in home invasions, emphasizing the community's safety.
