🔗 Share this article American Man Linked to Aussie Gunmen Secures Plea Deal with Federal Attorneys A US man linked with the culprits behind the deadly Wieambilla, Australia shooting that claimed the lives of six individuals – among them two Queensland police officers – has agreed to a watered-down plea deal. Arizona-based Donald Day Jr. will face court on October 21 after finalizing the plea deal with American authorities. The individual with prior convictions, known online as “Geronimo's Bones”, is anticipated to admit guilt to a single charge of illegally owning firearms and ammunition in a deal to be sanctioned by the judiciary this month. Connections to Aussie Gunmen Authorities confirmed clear connections between the defendant and the Train couple through online posts. This couple, along with Gareth’s brother Nathaniel, murdered officers from Queensland Matthew Arnold and Rachel McCrow, and neighbor Alan Dare at a isolated location in Wieambilla in 2022. The Trains were fatally shot in a final shootout with police, following a protracted siege at the regional property. US prosecutors said Day communicated via social media with the perpetrators around the time of the deadly ambush. He described Queensland officers as “malignant, malformed and malevolent”, and said they should be shown “absolutely no quarter”, informing them he wanted to be at Wieambilla physically. Court documents detailed how Gareth and Stacey Train had uploaded an apocalyptic video on YouTube after the incident, stating police “came to kill us and we killed them”. “Failing to stand against these evil forces makes one a coward … We will meet you at home, Don. With love,” the Trains expressed. Firearms Cache and Court Case Court documents show Day accumulated a cache of multiple powerful guns and hundreds of rounds of ammo at a country estate in Heber, AZ, that was equipped with a shooting range, weapons room and sniper hide. “The firearms and ammunition were kept in the mobile home I shared with S.S., in a room we called the ‘gun room’,” he said in the agreement submitted in the legal system. He stated he regularly accessed both the weapons storage and the firearms, and also trained others on how to operate the guns properly. The plea deal will result in dismissed counts that pertain to the accused issuing threats to public figures and FBI agents. Based on legal files, the individual had been prohibited from possessing weapons and firearms because of his violent criminal history. The defendant, who has served two years in custody, could receive a highest sentence of up to 15 years in jail or a fine of $250,000 (A$381,500), but the plea deal specifies he will be judged under the low end of the sentencing guidelines.
