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

Police in Vallejo say they were handling one shooting when they got a call about a second in the middle of a sideshow.

Video shows people lighting a ring of fire as drivers did donuts in the middle of the intersection at B.W. Williams Drive and Lewis Brown Drive just after midnight.
