The CEO of The MAC Group, David Morton, 75, and his two adult daughters were shot during a violent home invasion in Bridle Path early Thursday morning. The trio of male suspects, armed with guns and a hammer, entered the home through the rear and confronted the occupants on the second floor, demanding valuables. Morton's wife was also attacked with a hammer but was later released from hospital.

It also highlights the broader issue of violent crime affecting families, prompting discussions on safety measures and law‑enforcement responses across North America.
