A search is underway for three armed men who broke into a mansion in Toronto, Canada, belonging to a real estate CEO in the early morning hours Thursday and attacked and injured the family inside, authorities said.

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.

Once inside, police said they went to the second floor of the home and confronted 75-year-old David Morton, his wife, 64-year-old Doriana Morton, and their two adult daughters, Maggie and Cristina.

"There was a demand made for valuables from within the home," Toronto Police Service Inspector Kristy Smith told reporters. "Whether or not they escaped with anything is uncertain at this point."

Police said David Morton, CEO of the MAC Group, and his daughters, ages 28 and 26, tried to fight off the intruders when shots were fired.

All three sustained gunshot wounds, Smith disclosed. And in a separate statement Friday, David Morton said that all four family members were also attacked by the suspects with the hammer.
