TooShortToo $hort has dodged a bullet after TSA employee noticed a loaded gun in his carry-on luggage at Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, California.

According to MSN.com, the Oakland rapper ran out of the airport avoiding a certain arrest.

Rapper Too Short has been cited at a Southern California airport a day after fleeing a security checkpoint when a screener found a loaded handgun in his carry-on luggage. Burbank police Sgt. John Pfrommer says the rapper, born Todd Anthony Shaw, was passing through the checkpoint Wednesday when a Transportation Security Administration employee noticed the handgun going through a baggage scanner.

The rapper fled the building, leaving his belongings behind.

Pfrommer says Too Short returned to the airport Thursday with his attorney and was cited on misdemeanor possession of a loaded handgun in a public place.

He was released and is due in court Nov. 3. 

$hort Dog is currently on probation stemming from a DUI last August. No report as of yet how this new struggle will affect his situation.
