Correspondent Suspended Who Reported All of Bryant's Kids Died in Crash

An ABC News correspondent who wrongly reported that all of Kobe Bryant's children were killed has been suspended. Matt Gutman, the network's chief national correspondent, initially reported that the NBA legend's four daughters were with him when his helicopter crashed on Sunday. In fact, only one of his children -- 13-year-old Gianna -- was among the eight people who died with Bryant in the tragedy. Although Gutman has since apologized for the error, the network on Wednesday suspended him for "failing to meet our editorial standards," ABC execs said in a statement. The length of Gutman's suspension has not been revealed.
