   John Sawchak, who is accused of shooting his neighbor in Minneapolis, made his   
   first appearance in court Tuesday.   
      
   MINNEAPOLIS — A man accused of shooting his neighbor in Minneapolis, and who   
   was arrested after an hours-long standoff this weekend, made his first   
   appearance before a judge Tuesday.   
      
   John Sawchak had his bond set at $1 million without conditions, or $600,000   
   with. Those conditions include not owning guns or being within three blocks of   
   the victims. KARE 11's Gordon Severson was in the courtroom and reports that   
   as the judge explained    
   these conditions, Sawchak said it was unlikely he would be able to post bail   
   saying  "that's not happening"  and that he didn't have that kind of money.   
      
   Sawchak's case has received widespread attention after he was not initially   
   arrested for allegedly shooting his neighbor, Davis Moturi, who was pruning a   
   tree on the line between their two properties on the 3500 block of Grand   
   Avenue S.   
      
   Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara defended not arresting Sawchak sooner,   
   calling it a "high-risk" situation. O'Hara later said the victim, who had   
   complained about harassment from Sawchak for months, was failed by police.   
   Sawchak was arrested this    
   weekend after an hours-long standoff.   
      
   In court on Tuesday it was revealed that 10 people have filed restraining   
   orders against Sawchak over the last 15 years. Severson reports that at the   
   end of his appearance, Sawchak said he wanted to file restraining orders   
   against all of the people who    
   are coming onto his property and "stalking" him.   
      
   The victim suffered a fractured spine, two broken ribs, and a concussion in   
   Wednesday's shooting. Minneapolis Police pledged a full review of their   
   response to the incident.   
      
   Sawchak returns to court on November 25.
