Additional charges of felony terroristic threats and endangering the welfare of a child were lodged late Monday afternoon against Shaheed Gindraw, the 32-year-old man who held city police at bay for more than six hours Friday night at his apartment at Newberry Estates, 2500 Federal Ave.
Gindraw threatened to blow up his apartment, No. 251, forcing police to evacuate several neighboring units during the standoff that began about 5:15 p.m. shortly after his pregnant girlfriend returned home from the hospital.
Gindraw had earlier allegedly assaulted the woman and threatened to “stomp the kid out of her belly,” Agent Brittany Alexander said in an affidavit.
