Key Points:
- Daijohn Richards, 23, faces armed robbery and other charges after a violent break-in at the $2.1 million home of MAC Group CEO David Morton in Toronto's Bridle Path neighborhood, where Morton and his family were attacked.
- During the chaotic incident, Richards was accidentally shot by one of the other suspects and sought treatment at a hospital, where police questioned him but released him due to insufficient evidence at the time.
- Police emphasized that arresting Richards required reasonable and probable grounds supported by evidence, explaining the delay in naming him a suspect and issuing a Canada-wide warrant only days later.
- The break-in involved multiple armed suspects, with Morton and his adult daughters sustaining gunshot wounds and his wife being attacked with a hammer, leaving the family traumatized.
- Authorities continue to seek information on the other armed suspects involved, while Morton has called for public assistance and highlighted the importance of safety and security in one's home.
