Masked Invaders Stage Terrifying Armed Attack on CEO's Family Home: Both Daughters Shot, Wife Struck with Hammer
Three masked intruders forced their way into a multimillion-dollar home in Toronto’s exclusive Bridle Path neighborhood before dawn Thursday, opening fire on a real estate executive and his two adult daughters, as well as striking his wife with a hammer.
The attack began shortly after 3:45 a.m. on Oct. 29 at a residence on Hyde Park Circle, according to a report from Canadian news outlet CP24.
Toronto Police Inspector Kristy Smith said the men entered through a rear door, went upstairs, and demanded valuables. A confrontation followed in which the invaders fired multiple shots.
The victims were David Morton, CEO of the MAC Group; his wife, Doriana Zohil-Morton, the company’s president; and their daughters, Maggie and Cristina Zohil-Morton, according to a report from People magazine.
Police have not publicly confirmed the names of the victims.

Armed with handguns and a hammer, they forced entry through a back door, demanded valuables, and a struggle broke out.
Two victims have life altering injuries. Suspects fled in an SUV. No arrests yet.
Watching to see who the attackers are. That’s viscious. Praying for them.

The men reportedly fled the scene in an SUV.
It remains unclear whether they left with any property.
Smith said the apparent motive was robbery and that a demand for valuables had been made inside the home.
The choice of an affluent neighborhood, she added, suggested the suspects were seeking valuables.
I am deeply troubled by the violent home invasion early this morning in the Bridle Path neighbourhood. My thoughts are with the family and their loved ones, who are going through something no family should ever have to face. I am praying for their full recovery.
This attack has understandably shaken the neighbourhood and many residents across Toronto. This violence is not acceptable in our city. People must be safe in their own homes. Toronto Police are investigating and they have my full support as they work to find those responsible and hold them accountable to the fullest extent of the law. Residents can expect an increased police presence in the area.
I urge anyone with information, or with doorbell camera, security or dashcam footage from the area, to contact police immediately.
