Firefighters could be fired for taking photos of Kobe Bryant crash scene

Two Los Angeles County firefighters could be fired and a third suspended after first
responders took and shared graphic photos from the site of the helicopter crash that killed Kobe Bryant.

That’s according to court documents filed Monday as part of widow Vanessa Bryant’s federal lawsuit against Los Angeles County that alleges invasion of privacy.

Kobe Bryant, his teenage daughter and seven others were killed Jan. 26, 2020, when the helicopter they were aboard crashed.

Vanessa Bryant’s attorneys allege two firefighters had taken photos of the bodies that “served no business necessity.”

They sent them to a third firefighter, who showed them to others.
