Toronto family injured in Bridle Path home invasion, suspects sought
Three masked assailants broke into the Bridle Path residence of CEO David Morton, shooting family members and using a hammer; police are investigating and seeking information.
CEO David Morton said three masked individuals forced their way into his Bridle Path home on Thursday morning, armed with handguns and a hammer. The intruders shot three members of the family and struck all four with the hammer, leaving everyone injured and requiring emergency medical care.
"What should have been the safety and security of our own home became a terrifying and life-threatening experience," Morton wrote in a statement.
Morton expressed gratitude to police, emergency responders, and hospital staff for their swift assistance, and thanked friends, neighbours and others who offered messages of concern and support.
He also warned that the incident highlights a rise in violent home invasions in Toronto and urged anyone with information to contact authorities. The family requested privacy as they recover from the trauma.
Police have released descriptions of three suspects and are asking the public for tips to aid the investigation.
