Transcript of Minneapolis neighbor shooting sparks outrage after suspect is charged, but remains at home for now

This was a shocking moment caught on camera.

Video obtained by our MBC affiliate, Cara Levin, shows David Mattori trimming a tree outside his Minneapolis home Wednesday, when according to court documents, a bullet was fired from his neighbor's upstairs window.

The bullet went down through my neck and then all the way back to my spine.

Mattori told MBC affiliate, Cara Levin, he's also recovering from broken ribs and a concussion. Adding, the last 11 months since he and his wife moved in, they've been living a nightmare next door to John Shoshack. Court documents show the victim called police 19 times prior to the shooting for incidents, including harassment, hate speech, and verbal threats. It also says Shoshack suffers from mental illness. Shoshack has been charged with attempted murder, but he is not in jail. Police allowing him to stay in his home because they say he's a threat to himself and others.

The likelihood of an armed, violent confrontation where we may have to use deadly force with the suspect in this case is high.

That excuse sparking community outrage.

We have to take violent criminals off the street. So I'm not a police officer. I don't know how that gets done, but I know it needs to get done.

Police say Shalchek rarely leaves his home, and the department has not set an arrest date.

We are not going to bust the door down, guns blazing, and get into a deadly source situation, but we will ensure the community will be safe.

Matori says he feels the Minneapolis Department failed to protect his family by not arresting his neighbor when they needed them most.

If you're saying you're scared, what does that do to me? You have this body armor, you have this special training, this special training.
