Winnipeg parents of girl, 16, fatally shot by police in shock and grieving

First, William Hudson learned his daughter was killed. Then he got the news that one of his best friends was also dead.

His 16-year-old daughter and friend were killed in two separate Winnipeg police shootings that occurred less than 12 hours apart from Wednesday evening into Thursday morning.

Police shot Hudson's daughter Eishia on Wednesday night at the intersection of Lagimodiere Boulevard and Fermor Avenue, following what they said was a "full blown pursuit" that started after police said a group of teens robbed the Liquor Mart in Winnipeg's Sage Creek neighbourhood.

Police said the vehicle, which had been stolen a day prior and used initially in a robbery at another city Liquor Mart Wednesday morning, collided with multiple other vehicles. Four other teens — 15 and 16 years old — were arrested and charged with multiple offences.

Bystanders captured the shooting and its aftermath on video and posted it to social media. Hudson said he hasn't seen the footage.
