On Sunday, while reporting on the death of Los Angeles Lakers great Kobe Bryant, MSNBC anchor Allison Morris stumbled over her words, leaving social media to debate: Did she say “Los Angeles [N-word]” or, as she claims, “Los Angeles Nakers”?
The chopper went down in Calabasas, about 30 miles (48 kilometers) northwest of downtown Los Angeles.
After originally reporting that five people died, authorities confirmed that nine people perished, with no survivors.
Bryant, an all-time basketball great who spent his entire 20-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers, was among the victims, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press.
A different person familiar with the case confirmed that Bryant’s 13-year-old daughter Gianna also was killed.
