警方正在搜寻嫌疑人,此前一名加拿大房地产高管及其两名女儿遭枪击,妻子遭锤击,案发于周四清晨,地点位于多伦多一个富人社区的一处住宅。
Police are searching for suspects after a Canadian real estate executive and his two daughters were shot, while his wife was attacked with a hammer, during an early morning home invasion in a wealthy Toronto neighbourhood.
Mac Group首席执行官大卫·莫顿在一份声明中证实了这起袭击,他说:“没有任何家庭应该经历这种事。”莫顿表示,他的全家因“在本该让人感到最安全的地方——自己的家里,经历如此恐怖的事情而受到创伤”,正处于震惊之中。
David Morton, chief executive of the Mac Group, confirmed the attack in a statement, saying: "No family should ever have to experience this." Morton said his family was reeling from "the trauma of experiencing something so horrific in the one place where everyone should feel safest: their own home".
多伦多警方表示,嫌疑人在袭击家庭成员并驾车逃离前,曾索要财物。警方尚未公布嫌疑人身份。
The suspects demanded valuables before assaulting the family and fleeing in a car, Toronto Police said. Authorities have not released the identities of the suspects.
这起入室抢劫案发生在布莱德尔帕斯,这是加拿大最富有的社区之一,德雷克和席琳·迪翁等乐坛巨星均曾居住于此。
The home invasion took place in the Bridle Path, one of Canada's wealthiest neighbourhoods, whose residents have included music stars Drake and Celine Dion.
该区以大宅林立、高墙铁门环绕著称,常可见受雇保安在该区巡逻。
The area is known for its large mansions behind high walls and iron gates, with hired security often seen patrolling the area.
警方称,案发时间为周四清晨约03:44(美东时间,格林威治标准时间07:00),嫌疑人通过后门进入屋内。
Police said the incident happened around 03:44 EST (07:00 GMT) on Thursday morning, when the suspects entered the property through a rear door.
随后嫌疑人与家人对峙,并多次开枪,导致父亲及其两名女儿中枪受伤,妻子头部遭锤击受伤。
The suspects then confronted the family and fired their guns multiple times, wounding the father and his two daughters, and hitting the wife on the head with a hammer.
莫顿在周五的一份声明中证实:“三名蒙面人员持手枪和锤子强行闯入我家住宅。”
"Three masked individuals forcibly entered our residence, armed with handguns and a hammer," Morton confirmed in a statement on Friday.
“袭击中,我家三名成员中枪,目前正在医院康复。全家四口均遭锤击,致使所有人受伤,需要紧急医疗救治。”莫顿未透露家庭成员姓名,但媒体报道称,中枪的是他的两名成年女儿克里斯蒂娜和玛吉,妻子多里安娜·佐希尔-莫顿头部遭锤击。警方表示,两名受害者仍留院治疗。
"During the attack, three members of our family were shot and are currently recovering in hospital. All four members of our family were also attacked with a hammer, leaving everyone injured and requiring emergency medical attention." Morton did not name the family members, but media reports indicate that his two adult daughters Cristina and Maggie were shot, and his wife Doriana Zohil-Morton was struck in the head with a hammer.
警方未公布受害者身份,但列出了他们的年龄:75岁、64岁、28岁和26岁。警方表示,三名嫌疑人据信是20多岁的男性。警方认为,这家人成为目标仅仅是因为他们居住在富人区。
Two of the victims remain in hospital, police said. Police did not identify the victims, but listed their ages as 75, 64, 28 and 26. Police said the three suspects are believed to be men in their 20s.
“通常,富人区会有好东西——总有人想要获取这些好东西,”多伦多警局督察克里斯蒂·史密斯对记者说。
The police believe the family was targeted solely because they lived in an affluent area.
史密斯补充说,警方目前尚不清楚嫌疑人是否从屋内拿走了财物,正在努力寻回弹壳,以帮助确认嫌疑人身份。
“Typically, in an affluent neighbourhood comes nice things – and there’s always people out there that want to acquire nice things,” Inspector Kristy Smith of the Toronto Police Service told reporters.
警方数据显示,多伦多入室抢劫案呈上升趋势,一些居民表示正在采取措施升级家庭安防。
Smith added that police do not yet know whether the suspects took anything from the home and are working to recover bullet casings that could help identify them.
多伦多市长周嘉慧最近连任第二任期,她表示对这起入室抢劫案“深感不安”。
Police figures show that home invasions are on the rise in Toronto, and some residents say they are taking steps to upgrade home security.
“这次袭击理所当然地震动了该社区和多伦多许多居民,”周嘉慧在X平台上写道。“这种暴力在我们城市是不可接受的。人们必须在自己的家中感到安全。”保守党反对党领袖博励治在另一条帖子中称这是一起“骇人听闻”的事件。“这些罪犯必须被抓获,并在司法系统面前为其行为负责,”他说。
Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow, who was recently elected to a second term, said she was "deeply troubled" by the home invasion. "This attack has understandably shaken the neighbourhood and many residents across Toronto," Chow wrote on X. "This violence is not acceptable in our city. People must be safe in their own homes." Conservative opposition leader Pierre Poilievre called it a "horrific" incident in a separate post on "These criminals must be apprehended and held accountable for their actions before the justice system," he said.
多伦多警局局长德姆基表示,布里德尔帕斯社区的居民在未来几天应预期会看到增加的警力巡逻。
Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw said that Bridle Path residents should expect to see increased police patrols over the coming days.
“我们也继续做出战略决策,投入额外资源,以应对这一令人担忧的入室抢劫趋势,保障社区安全,”他说。
"We also continue to make strategic decisions and dedicate additional resources to address this concerning trend of home invasions and to keep our communities safe," he said.
