The Erie County District Attorney's office announced a jury found 54-year-old, Cheektowaga man Mark Dublino guilty of attempted murder, burglary, aggravated criminal contempt, and assault. 

On June 6th, 2016, Dublino entered his ex-girlfriend's Williamsville home, violating an order of protection. Inside, Dublino attacked his ex and her friend with a sledgehammer -- hitting them each in the head multiple times.

After the attack, Dublino drove to his ex-girlfriend's parent's home in Amherst and attacked her elderly father with a shovel.

Dublino is expected to be sentenced in state Supreme Court on March 12th. 

Officials say all victims are still recovering from their injuries.
