BALTIMORE (WJZ)-- Authorities reached a plea deal Thursday, with the Montgomery County high school student who brought a loaded gun to his high school.

According to his journals, he had the weapon to protect himself and other students.

Chen's plea hearing is later this month.

Sentencing possibilities range from probation to two years in prison.
