Toronto police chief sees 'no failure' in Bridle Path home invasion probe
Bridle Path
Toronto, Ontario
Three masked, armed men broke into a home early on Oct 29, police say, and three members of the family of four were shot. Two were also struck with a hammer.
Chief Myron Demkiw said officers could not detain a man treated at hospital for a gunshot wound, because nothing then suggested that a suspect had been shot. He called the work "exceptional police work".
What we know
- He was treated at hospital hours after the attack
- Grounds for an arrest came Friday evening
Not yet
- Where he is now
- Who the other two suspects are
The man left the hospital after a few hours and is now the subject of a Canada-wide warrant. Police say he is armed and dangerous.
