    SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — The 16-year-old who allegedly planned a shooting at Scranton High School pleaded guilty to aggravated assault on Tuesday.

    Authorities say Sihyar Dickerson plotted to shoot rival gang members at the school after he took a bus to Scranton from Wilkes-Barre in January.

    Scranton police arrested Dickerson as he was approaching the school with a loaded gun.

    His actions caused the school to go on lockdown and prompted a large police presence.

    Dickerson is expected to be sentenced in September.
