Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 30 Oct, 09:15 · Archive

A Canadian real estate CEO, his two daughters and his wife were attacked by three masked intruders at their Toronto home.

Three masked men broke into the multimillion-dollar Toronto home of David Morton, a 75-year-old real estate CEO, around 3:45am on Thursday. The intruders, armed with handguns and a hammer, gained entry through a back door. When confronted by the family, a violent struggle ensued.

Morton and his two daughters, Maggie Zohil-Morton and Cristina Zohil-Morton, were shot during the altercation. Morton and one daughter were shot in the leg, while the other daughter suffered a gunshot wound under her arm. His wife, Doriana Zohil-Morton, who is also president of the MAC Group, was struck with a hammer by one of the suspects.

Two of the four family members suffered what Toronto Police Service Inspector Kristy Smith described as 'life-altering injuries' and remained hospitalised. The other two sustained non-life-threatening wounds. The three suspects fled the area in an SUV. It was not immediately known if anything was stolen from the house. A motive for the attack has not been revealed, though police believe the intruders may have been attempting to rob the upscale neighbourhood.
