Brandon Morrissette sentenced after he pleaded guilty to bringing gun to West Geauga High School

Judge Carolyn Paschke is presiding over the hearing at Geauga County Common Pleas Court.

It comes after Morrissette -- who was 18 at the time of his arrest -- entered a guilty plea back in March to charges of attempted murder and illegal possession of a deadly weapon in a school safety zone.

"He admitted to using prior calculation and design in developing a plan to cause harm to students at West Geauga High School on April 3," Chester Township Police Chief Craig Young said last year after Morrissette’s arrest. "He further acknowledged that the firearm seized by law enforcement on Monday was the weapon he intended to use to inflict that harm."

A fellow student, who was identified as Casey Orloski, was hailed as a hero after reporting he found a bullet in the bathroom.

"I was scared that someone was going to use that bullet during the school day, and that's why I went up to the school resource officer," Casey told 3News last year.

More than a year after he was arrested on allegations he brought a gun to West Geauga High School with a plan to harm other students, Brandon Morrissette is back in court right now to face sentencing.
