The suspects, who were masked, forced their way through a back entrance of the five-bedroom home in the Bridle Path neighborhood at around 3:40 a.m. local time, wielding guns and a hammer, Toronto police said.
“It is difficult to put into words the trauma of experiencing something so horrific in the one place where everyone should feel safest: their own home,” Morton said in a statement provided to The Post.
Morton and his daughters, Maggie and Cristina Zohil-Morton, were shot and hit with a hammer as they “tried to fight off” three men wearing hoodies and ski masks, while his wife, Doriana Zohil-Morton, also sustained injuries from the hammer, a source told the Toronto Sun.
Richards is wanted on four counts of discharge of a firearm with intent to wound, four counts of robbery with a firearm, three counts of aggravated assault, break and enter, possession of a prohibited device and disguise with intent.
