🔗 Share this article US Individual Connected to Aussie Shooters Strikes Plea Deal with Federal Attorneys An American citizen linked with the perpetrators behind the deadly Wieambilla, Australia shooting that took the lives of six individuals – among them two officers from Queensland – has agreed to a less severe plea deal. Arizona-based Donald Day Jr. will appear in court on October 21 after finalizing the plea deal with US prosecutors. The convicted felon, known online as “Geronimo's Bones”, is expected to plead guilty to a sole offense of illegally owning firearms and ammunition in a arrangement to be sanctioned by the court in the current month. Links to Australian Shooters Investigators established direct links between the defendant and Gareth and Stacey Train through digital communications. The Trains, along with Gareth’s brother Nathaniel, murdered officers from Queensland Arnold and McCrow, and neighbor Alan Dare at a isolated location in Wieambilla, Queensland in 2022. They were fatally shot in a final shootout with law enforcement, following a protracted siege at the rural site. American officials said the accused corresponded via social media with the perpetrators during the period of the fatal attack. He described Queensland officers as “malignant, malformed and malevolent”, and declared they should be shown “no mercy whatsoever”, informing them he wanted to be at the scene in person. Legal filings detailed how Gareth and Stacey Train had uploaded an end-times recording on the video platform after the incident, stating police “attempted to kill us, and we retaliated”. “If you don’t defend yourself against these devils and demons, you’re a coward … We will meet you at home, Don. With love,” the Trains expressed. Weapons Stockpile and Legal Proceedings Legal records reveal the defendant accumulated a collection of nine high-powered firearms and numerous bullets of ammunition at a rural property in Heber, Arizona, that was outfitted with a gun range, gun room and sniper’s nest. “The firearms and ammunition were kept in the mobile home I shared with S.S., in a room we called the ‘gun room’,” he admitted in the agreement submitted in court. He stated he frequently used both the weapons storage and the weapons, and also instructed others on how to use the guns properly. The bargain will result in dismissed counts that pertain to the accused issuing threats to public figures and FBI agents. Based on legal files, Day had been banned from possessing guns and arms because of his history of violent crimes. The defendant, who has served two years in custody, faces a maximum penalty of up to 15 years in prison or a fine of $250,000 (A$381,500), but the agreement specifies he will be sentenced under the low end of the sentencing guidelines.
