🔗 Share this article American Man Linked to Australian Shooters Secures Plea Bargain with Federal Attorneys A US man linked with the culprits behind the fatal Wieambilla, Australia attack that claimed the lives of six individuals – including two officers from Queensland – has accepted a less severe plea agreement. Arizona-based Donald Day Jr will appear in court on 21 October after finalizing the bargain with US prosecutors. The convicted felon, known online as “Geronimo's Bones”, is expected to plead guilty to a single charge of illegally owning guns and bullets in a arrangement to be sanctioned by the court in the current month. Links to Australian Shooters Authorities established direct links between the defendant and the Train couple through digital communications. This couple, along with Gareth’s brother Nathaniel, murdered officers from Queensland Matthew Arnold and Rachel McCrow, and neighbour 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 stated Day corresponded via online platforms with the Trains during the period of the fatal attack. Day described Queensland officers as “malignant, malformed and malevolent”, and said they should be shown “no mercy whatsoever”, telling the Trains he desired to be at the scene in person. Legal filings outlined how the couple had posted 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 Legal Proceedings Legal records show Day stockpiled a cache of multiple powerful guns and numerous bullets of ammo at a rural property in Heber, AZ, that was equipped with a shooting range, gun 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 admitted in the plea deal submitted in the legal system. Day said he regularly accessed both the weapons storage and the weapons, and also instructed others on how to use the firearms correctly. The bargain will result in dismissed counts that pertain to the alleged making of threats to officials and FBI agents. According to court documents, the individual had been banned from owning guns and arms because of his history of violent crimes. Day, who has served two years in detention, faces a highest sentence of up to 15 years in prison or a penalty of $250,000 (A$381,500), but the plea deal stipulates he will be judged under the low end of the sentencing guidelines.
