The family reportedly ‘tried to fight off’ the home invaders before they were shot. 
David Morton and one of daughter were shot in the leg, while his other daughter was shot in the arm. All four family members were struck in the head with a hammer.  
Police said that the masked men escaped in an SUV after the horrific shooting but that there was no description of the suspects authorities could provide.
The family had surveillance cameras inside their home. Footage of the attack has been handed over to police.  
‘We have no information at this point to suspect that this particular home was targeted by the suspects,’ Smith said.
‘I’m not quite sure what their motives are at this time and whether or not they were in the area looking at other houses prior.’
