VERY sad news hit us yesterday.
Nine people died in the helicopter crash that killed Kobe Bryant, his daughter, Gianna, and her basketball teammate.
They were flying to Thousand Oaks, California, for a basketball game, where Gianna was expected to play and Bryant was expected to coach.
While police have not released the names of the people on board, but here’s what we know so far:
A baseball coach, his wife and daughter were also on board. Orange Coast College (OCC) baseball coach John Altobelli, his wife, Keri, and daughter, Alyssa.
Christina Mauser, an assistant girl’s basketball coach at a K-8 private school in Orange County also died in the crash.
More to follow.
