Vanessa Bryant Names Officers Accused of Taking Photos of Kobe, Gianna Helicopter Crash

Just over a week after the Los Angeles Times reported that Vanessa Bryant would be allowed to obtain the names of the four sheriff's deputies who allegedly shared "unauthorized" photos of the helicopter crash site where Kobe Bryant, his daughter and seven others died, Bryant revealed the names of the officers in an Instagram post on Wednesday evening.

In a series of posts, Bryant shared images of lawsuit documents she filed in which the officers' names were originally redacted. Los Angeles County, the sheriff’s department, the county fire department and the four deputies in question are all named defendants.
