Coolio was just charged with possession of a firearm by a felon, and he's got even more immediate problems ... he didn't show up in court.

The L.A. County D.A. filed the charge after the rapper tried to get a loaded gun through LAX security.

TMZ broke the story ... Coolio was yanked off a plane back in September after TSA found the gun in a book bag ... one of his crew members tried to take the fall, but cops searched the bag and it wasn't hard to determine it was the rapper's.

Coolio's lawyer tried explaining to the judge ... his client had a performance in St. Louis and couldn't make it back in time. The judge just cut Coolio a break. He has to show up October 26th ... or else.

Coolio faces up to 3 years in prison if convicted.

Kim Kardashian wants to make it clear to anyone who's even thinking of pulling off a heist at her expense ... you could end up dead, because she's amping up her security to Presidential levels.

Sources close to Kim tell us ... her new security detail includes former members of the Secret Service, who will be armed to the teeth.

There will be at least one team of 2 hired muscles (minimum) everywhere she goes. We're also told her car will be "armored."

We're told after the Paris robbery Kim met with some ex-special force members from the Israeli army, ex-CIA agents as well as former Secret Service members. Kanye met with owners of 2 top security firms.

As for Pascal Duvier ... he still has a job.

We're also told Kris Jenner is heavily involved in security meetings, and plans to get protection for Kourtney, Khloe, Kendall and Kylie ... stat. We've heard nothing about Rob.

No word on Kim's code name.

Kim Kardashian has no reason to feel suspicious of the concierge who let gunmen into her apartment this week ... so says the concierge himself.

The 40-year-old apartment gatekeeper has written an open letter to Kim, trying to assuage her doubts that he's simply a victim. Kim has made a point of saying the concierge remained almost too calm when confronted by the robbers.

The concierge wrote, "Dear Kim: When you feel the cold steel of a gun at your neck, it is the moment when remaining calm can mean the difference of life or death, both our lives." In the letter, published in Closer magazine, he ends with "I hope you are feeling better."

9:00 AM PT -- Police believe the shooting was tied to local gangs, and not related to Game.

We're told Game was in his dressing room, sipping champagne when the shots rang out, and didn't have a clue about the chaos.

Someone fired at least one shot Thursday at a Game concert ... and cops are coming up dry -- they can't even find a victim.

Game was scheduled to perform in Portland, Oregon, but during an opening act a shot rang out. Cops swarmed the arena but no one was shot. They checked local hospitals as well, but no victims turned up.

The venue was closed and Game never performed.

It's obviously interesting because of Game's feud with Meek Mill, but so far nothing suggests Meek or his crew were involved.

Chris Brown was a man of few words Wednesday night, but it didn't take many to show his disdain for authorities who arrested him in a gun case that has fallen apart.

Chris was on his way into Catch when he made it clear ... he's confident the gun arrest will not stick. As we reported, the case is going nowhere ... cops got a second extension to complete an investigation that really begins and ends with a very shaky alleged victim.

By the way, speaking of Catch ... it's the new Craig's -- everyone's going there. Hollywood's nothing if not predictable ... a few celebs eat somewhere and it takes a minute for the rest to follow.

At one point, the suspect went inside the sports center.

According to the police report, obtained by TMZ Sports, the 27-year-old had put his backpack through the X-ray machine at Miami International when TSA workers noticed a loaded firearm.

Bradham told workers he forgot the gun was in the bag -- and showed officials his concealed weapons permit.

Officials say "it was clear that there was no criminal intent on his part" -- but say they could not just cite and release Bradham since he's still out on bond stemming from a July assault case.

Bradham was taken into custody and booked for a 2nd degree misdemeanor concealed weapons charge. He was released from custody later that day on a $500 bond.

T.I.'s stepdaughter got herself a get out of jail free card in her gun possession case, as long as she does right by a judge.

Sources tell TMZ ... Zonnique Pullins avoided jail time after being charged for carrying a concealed weapon to Atlanta's airport in June ... because she's never had any legal trouble before this.

We're told she'll have to take a gun law training class, pay a $500 fine and complete 60 hours of community service. She also has to submit to random drug tests.

Video has surfaced of the Charlotte PD shooting of Keith Lamont Scott ... whose wife is heard on the footage yelling, "Don't shoot him" in the seconds before officers opened fire.

Scott's wife, Rakeyia, recorded the video on her phone -- NBC News obtained it -- and the moment four shots are fired is not on camera. His wife repeatedly pleaded with police not to shoot Scott, and you can hear officers yelling, "Put down the gun!"

*** WARNING: EXPLICIT LANGUAGE ***

Rakeyia told police her husband did NOT have a gun, and also told Scott he should get out of the car. She told police he had a "TBI." It's been reported Scott was disabled with a brain injury from a motorcycle accident years ago.

Cops have said Scott had a weapon. Charlotte PD points to a social media photo purporting to show a handgun near Scott's feet. Police say they have dash cam video, but won't release it until their investigation is complete.

No gun is apparent in the video, and Scott's family insists he was unarmed.

Mia adopted Thaddeus in 1994 from Calcutta, India. He was one of 10 children she's adopted, and was also paraplegic due to polio.

Thaddeus was adopted after Mia's split from Woody Allen.

Chris Brown fans in Japan are getting screwed by LAPD's investigation into his gun case ... which is preventing the singer from boarding a jet plane to perform there.

CB has shows scheduled in Tokyo next week and sources close to Chris tell us he applied for permission to enter the country on a working visa. However, we're told Japanese officials flagged Chris and denied him entry due to the investigation into claims he pulled a gun on a woman.

A Japanese consulate official tells TMZ the country has a very low tolerance for admitting visitors with criminal backgrounds and open cases. Brown faced this same kind of scrutiny in Australia over his probation due to the Rihanna case.

D.L. Hughley is demanding the Tulsa cop who shot and killed Terence Crutcher suffer serious consequences -- and he wants opponents of Colin Kaepernick to speak up about it too.

Check out the clip -- Hughley's sticking to his guns, insisting certain famous faces are way too silent right now, and need to check themselves.

Video has surfaced showing an unarmed man getting shot and killed as he appeared to be surrendering to police.

40-year-old Terence Crutcher is seen outside his SUV, parked in the middle of a road Friday night in Tulsa, when cops converged on the scene.

A cop in a police helicopter says out of the blue, Crutcher looks "like a bad dude." It appears Crutcher was doing nothing to warrant that description.

Crutcher has his hands raised and then lowers them as he walks toward the vehicle. Police then taser him and shortly thereafter an officer fires shots. You see Crutcher drop to the ground.

The officer who fired the shots told the dispatcher she was not getting cooperation from him.

Ahmad Rahami -- the suspect wanted in the investigation of the series of explosions in NY and NJ -- was captured in a shootout with cops Monday morning.

Rahami survived the shooting and is now in custody.

Hours earlier, police had released his photo and named him a person of interest in the Chelsea explosion, and the explosive devices found in NJ.

Story developing ...

Cops investigating the possible murder-suicide of NASCAR superstar Robby Gordon's father say they've recovered a butcher knife near the body of Sharon Gordon ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement tells us ... the knife was collected as evidence from the scene. Cops say the significance of its discovery is unclear at this moment.

The Gordon family's attorney, Steve Nichols, tells TMZ ... the family believes the knife played an important part in what led to Bob taking his own life.

Sources tell us the knife is a strong sign there may have been mutual combat between Robert "Baja Bob" and Sharon before their deaths.

Police have said Gordon strangled Sharon and then killed himself with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Nichols tells us there's never been a history of violence in the Gordons' long marriage.
