Illegal Vallejo sideshow leads to a shootout with one dead and one injured, according to police

VALLEJO, Calif. (KGO) — A chaotic night in North Bay ended with one person dead, another in the hospital and so many shootings that police couldn’t respond to them all.

Vallejo police said they were dealing with a shooting when they received a 911 call about a second into the middle of a sideshow.

A video shows people lighting a ring of fire in the middle of the intersection of BW Williams Drive and Lewis Brown Drive shortly after midnight while motorists did doughnuts.
