I believe there were 7 other people that were killed in the crash.
I'm not really a basketball fan, but, Kobe Bryant is a hometown hero. He graduated from Lower Merion High School in Ardmore, PA, and was drafted into the NBA right after graduation. His HS coach tried to get the Philadelphia 76ers to sign him, but, they had their sights set on Allen Iverson.
I can't even imagine the pain his wife is in, losing both her husband and one of her children. And she just had a baby not long ago.
