🔗 Share this article US Individual Connected to Aussie Shooters Strikes Plea Deal with Federal Attorneys An American citizen linked with the culprits behind the deadly Wieambilla shooting that took six lives – 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 American authorities. The individual with prior convictions, referred to online as “Geronimo's Bones”, is anticipated to admit guilt to a sole offense of illegally owning firearms and ammunition in a deal to be sanctioned by the judiciary this month. Links to Australian Shooters Authorities confirmed direct links between Day and Gareth and Stacey Train through online posts. This couple, along with Nathaniel Train, murdered officers from Queensland Matthew Arnold and Rachel McCrow, and neighbor Alan Dare at a isolated location in Wieambilla, Queensland in 2022. They were killed in a final shootout with law enforcement, following a extended standoff at the regional property. American officials stated the accused communicated via online platforms with the perpetrators around the time of the fatal attack. He described Queensland police as “malignant, malformed and malevolent”, and said they should be shown “absolutely no quarter”, informing them he wanted to be at Wieambilla physically. Legal filings outlined how the couple had uploaded an end-times recording on YouTube after the shootings, stating police “came to kill us and we killed them”. “If you don’t defend yourself against these devils and demons, you’re a coward … we’ll see you at home, Don. Love you,” they said. Firearms Cache and Legal Proceedings Court documents show Day stockpiled a cache of multiple powerful guns and numerous bullets of ammunition at a rural property in Heber, AZ, that was equipped with a gun range, gun room and sniper’s nest. “The guns and ammo were stored in the trailer I occupied with S.S., within a space we named the 'gun room',” Day admitted in the agreement filed in the legal system. He stated he frequently used both the weapons storage and the firearms, and also instructed others on how to operate the firearms correctly. The bargain will result in charges dropped that pertain to the accused issuing threats to officials and FBI agents. Based on court documents, the individual had been prohibited from owning guns and arms because of his history of violent crimes. Day, who has served two years in detention, faces a maximum penalty of up to 15 years imprisonment in prison or a fine of US$250,000 (A$381,500), but the plea deal stipulates he will be sentenced under the low end of the legal sentencing standards.
