Toronto CEO, family attacked at $2.1M mansion

A brutal home invasion occurred in Toronto's affluent Bridle Path neighborhood early Thursday morning, as MAC Group CEO David Morton and his two daughters were attacked by masked intruders. The incident took place at their luxurious $2.1 million mansion, located in the prestigious Bridle Path area. According to reports from the Toronto Sun and Toronto Police Service Inspector Kristy Smith, the family fiercely resisted the masked attackers, who entered through a back door and fired multiple gunshots, with one victim sustaining a hammer strike.

David Morton, 75, and his daughters, Maggie and Cristina Zohil-Morton, were shot while trying to fend off the armed intruders, with Morton and one daughter suffering gunshot wounds and the other daughter being hit with a hammer. Two of the victims are now undergoing life-altering medical treatment, while the others have non-life-threatening injuries.

It is unclear whether the attackers successfully stole any valuables from the property, as the intruders fled the scene in an SUV, leaving authorities without detailed descriptions of the suspects.

The motive behind the attack remains unclear, but police believe the motive may have been to steal valuables from the affluent neighborhood. Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow expressed her concern over the violent incident and urged anyone with information to come forward, emphasizing that violence has no place in the city.
