🔗 Share this article US Individual Connected to Australian Gunmen Strikes Plea Deal with Prosecutors A US man associated with the perpetrators behind the deadly Wieambilla, Australia shooting that took six lives – among them two officers from Queensland – has accepted a watered-down plea deal. Resident of Arizona 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 unlawfully possessing firearms and ammunition in a deal to be approved by the court this month. Connections to Aussie Gunmen Investigators established clear connections between Day and the Train couple through online posts. The Trains, along with Gareth’s brother Nathaniel, killed officers from Queensland Matthew Arnold and Rachel McCrow, and neighbor Alan Dare at a remote property in Wieambilla, Queensland in 2022. They were killed in a final shootout with law enforcement, following a protracted siege at the rural site. US prosecutors said Day corresponded via social media with the Trains during the period of the deadly ambush. Day described Queensland police as “malignant, malformed and malevolent”, and said they should be shown “absolutely no quarter”, informing them he wanted to be at the scene in person. Legal filings outlined how Gareth and Stacey Train had posted an end-times recording on YouTube after the incident, saying authorities “attempted to kill us, and we retaliated”. “Failing to stand against these evil forces makes one a coward … We will meet you at home, Don. With love,” they expressed. Firearms Cache and Legal Proceedings Legal records reveal the defendant stockpiled a collection of multiple powerful guns and hundreds of rounds of ammunition at a country estate in Heber, Arizona, that was outfitted with a gun range, gun room and sniper hide. “The guns and ammo were stored in the trailer I occupied with S.S., within a space we named the 'gun room',” Day said in the agreement submitted in the legal system. He stated he regularly accessed both the gun room and the firearms, and also instructed individuals on how to use the guns properly. The bargain will lead to charges dropped that relate to the alleged issuing threats to public figures and FBI agents. According to court documents, Day had been prohibited from owning guns and arms because of his history of violent crimes. Day, who has completed two years in custody, faces a highest sentence of up to 15 years imprisonment in prison or a fine of $250,000 (A$381,500), but the plea deal stipulates he will be sentenced under the minimum range of the legal sentencing standards.
