A Canadian real estate CEO and his family were attacked this week by three masked intruders in their multimillion-dollar Toronto home, leaving two of them with “life-altering injuries,” according to police and reports.
MAC Group CEO David Morton and his two daughters were shot dead in the attack, police said, and his wife, Doriana Zohil-Morton, was attacked with a hammer.
“A fight ensued during this altercation during which the suspects fired their weapons several times and one victim was struck with a hammer,” said Toronto Police Insp. » Kristy Smith said during a press conference Thursday.

“There was a violent interaction. There was a demand for valuables from inside the home,” Smith said. “It’s uncertain at this point whether or not they got away with anything.”
She added: “A wealthy area where people would have things they wanted would be the motivation for this.”
