他因多项指控被通缉,包括三项故意开枪罪、三项加重袭击罪、持枪抢劫罪、持械袭击罪以及非法闯入罪。加拿大已发布全国通缉令逮捕他。多伦多警方提供的嫌疑人照片显示,理查兹有犯罪前科。
He is wanted on multiple charges, including three counts of discharge firearm with intent, three counts of aggravated assault, robbery with a firearm, assault with a weapon and break and enter. A Canada-wide warrant has been issued for his arrest. The mugshot provided by the Toronto Police Service indicates that Richards has a history of criminal behavior.

“It is difficult to put into words the trauma of experiencing something so horrific in the one place where everyone should feel safest: their own home,” Morton said in a statement provided to The Post.
他说:“没有任何家庭应该经历这种事。人们应该能在家中安然入睡,而不必担心持枪歹徒闯入、威胁生命。”据悉,莫顿和两名均在20多岁的女儿在试图击退三名身穿连帽衫、戴着滑雪面罩的男子时受伤。一位消息人士向《多伦多太阳报》透露,他64岁的妻子遭锤击。该媒体报道,莫顿和一名女儿腿部中枪,另一名女儿腋下被击中。
“No family should ever have to experience this,” he said. “People should be able to sleep peacefully in their homes without fear of armed individuals breaking in and threatening their lives.”Morton and his daughters, both in their 20s, were wounded while trying to fight off the three men, who were wearing hoodies and ski masks. His 64-year-old wife was bludgeoned with a hammer, a source told the Toronto Sun. Morton and one daughter were shot in the leg, while his other daughter was struck under the arm, the outlet reported.
