Masked intruders enter Canadian family's home; CEO and daughters shot

Three masked men entered MAC Group CEO David Morton’s Toronto home and shot Morton and his two daughters, while striking his wife with a hammer. The attack took place at the family’s gated Bridle Path property on Oct. 29, 2026, according to reporting that identifies the date and location. The accounts describe a home invasion in which four family members were attacked.

The New York Post reported that Toronto Police Service Inspector Kristy Smith said the intruders entered through a back door. It also reported that the men were armed with handguns and a hammer. The Daily Mail likewise said two men carried handguns and a third had a hammer, attributing that detail to police.

The accounts therefore identify weapons and an entry point, but do not offer a police account of what prompted the attack. The New York Post reported that Morton’s two daughters were adults and named them as Cristina and Maggie Zohil-Morton. It also relayed a source’s account that the family tried to fight off the intruders before the men shot them.

The Toronto Star’s headline describes a family hurt in a home invasion by masked intruders armed with guns and a hammer; it does not provide further details about the injuries or the family’s actions.

The Daily Mail places the home in Hyde Park Circle, while the New York Post identifies the property as being in the Bridle Path and says police responded after reports of a shooting. The New York Post also describes the home as gated.

These details locate the incident within Toronto and identify the residence as a private family home; they do not establish a motive or identify the intruders. The Toronto Sun reported that a forensic officer collected evidence at the scene on Thursday, Oct. 29, 2026.

It also described a woman believed to be the homeowner returning with Toronto police and leaving with three dogs believed to be family pets, according to a man who arrived with leashes. Those descriptions concern activity at the residence after the attack, rather than identifying who carried it out.

Toronto police had investigated more than 115 home invasions so far that year, the Toronto Sun reported. The figure gives a citywide count but does not establish that those cases share a connection with the attack on Morton’s family. The Toronto Sun also noted that a security guard was shot outside Drake’s estate in 2024, in the vicinity of the latest shooting.

Ward 15 Don Valley West Councillor Rachel Chernos Lin said she was heartbroken and horrified by the violent home invasion. The accounts identify the family as the immediate victims and report police activity at the property, but do not describe arrests, charges, the family’s medical condition, or a police determination of motive.
