PICO RIVERA (CBSLA) — A man was shot and killed by deputies early Thursday morning after a car chase and crash in Pico Rivera. The shooting happened at about 2 a.m. at Pico Vista, just south of Washington Boulevard, apparently following a chase and a crash into a utility pole at Schooling Road, less than a mile from where the man was fatally shot. A distraught woman came to the scene and said the man who had been killed was her 22-year-old son, Carmelo Pizarro, and that he had been upset about another recent shooting of a friend. “They killed my son,” Maria Reza said, wailing. She said Pizarro had a young daughter. The chase started as a possible DUI, according to investigators. After the crash into the pole, deputies say they opened fire on him and he took off running. Two more deputies confronted the suspect on Pico Vista, not far from his own home. Investigators say the suspect had a gun, which was recovered, but he did not fire back. No deputies were injured.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — It’s the last straw, of sorts, for Starbucks. The java giant and MGM resorts have joined the growing list of companies eliminating plastic straws. Dozens of cities across the country have already established bans or restrictions on the use of plastic straws in restaurants and earlier this year, a bill was introduced to ban them and drink stirrers at restaurants and bars around the five boroughs. Environmentalists say the straws endanger aquatic wildlife. The director of the Wildlife Conservation Society’s “ Give a Sip ” campaign, John Calvelli, stopped by to tell us more.
