Three masked suspects broke into the Bridle Path home of the chief executive of Toronto real estate group MAC Group early Thursday and attacked four members of his family. The suspects remain at large. Police said the invasion began early Thursday, when the intruders entered through a rear door and demanded valuables. Toronto Police Service Inspector Kristy Smith said it was unclear whether they took anything. In a statement Friday, the executive said three family members were shot and all four were attacked with a hammer, leaving everyone injured and requiring emergency care. Two victims remained in hospital. Police described the suspects as men in their 20s, wearing dark clothing and masks, and warned they should be considered armed and dangerous. The suspects fled in a dark-coloured SUV.
