Watch: Bay Area sideshow spectators create rings of fire in intersections
Sideshows happened in several cities the East Bay overnight, with attendees at two sideshows in Vallejo and Oakland creating circles of fire in an intersection.
In Vallejo, a sideshow was held at the intersection of Lewis Brown Drive and BW Williams Drive. The sideshow happened just after midnight.
Police dispersed the crowd within an hour, but not before attendees created a ring of fire in the intersection and stood inside while cars circled around them.
The other sideshows happened in Crockett, Richmond and Oakland.
Another ring of fire was made at the sideshow in Oakland. That sideshow happened at the intersection of International Boulevard and 42nd Avenue.
Police quickly dispersed the sideshow after about 20 minutes. Authorities later confirmed that there was a fatal shooting that left one victim dead. Police said they had not determined if the victim was a sideshow participant, spectator or a passerby.
Vallejo police also confirmed that they arrested one suspect at an earlier sideshow who pointed a laser at a CHP helicopter and led officers on a pursuit Friday night. Police also cited at least three other participants and seized a 10-foot python that was found in the suspect's car.
Attending sideshows is illegal, and police often track down vehicles involved and impound them.
