🔗 Share this article US Individual Connected to Australian Gunmen Strikes Plea Deal with Prosecutors An American citizen linked with the culprits behind the fatal Wieambilla, Australia attack that took the lives of six individuals – including two Queensland police officers – has agreed to a watered-down plea deal. Arizona-based Donald Day Jr. will face court on 21 October after finalizing the bargain with US prosecutors. The individual with prior convictions, referred to online as “Geronimo’s Bones”, is anticipated to admit guilt to a single offense of unlawfully possessing guns and bullets in a deal to be approved by the judiciary this month. Connections to Aussie Gunmen Authorities established clear connections between the defendant and Gareth and Stacey Train through online posts. The Trains, along with Nathaniel Train, murdered officers from Queensland Arnold and McCrow, and neighbour Alan Dare at a isolated location in Wieambilla in 2022. They were killed in a gun battle with law enforcement, following a protracted siege at the rural site. American officials stated Day communicated via online platforms with the perpetrators around the time of the fatal attack. He referred to Queensland police as “malignant, malformed and malevolent”, and said they should be shown “absolutely no quarter”, informing them he desired to be at the scene physically. Legal filings detailed how the couple had uploaded an apocalyptic video on the video platform after the shootings, saying authorities “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. Weapons Stockpile and Court Case Court documents show the defendant stockpiled a cache of multiple powerful guns and hundreds of rounds of ammo at a country estate in Heber, Arizona, 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 agreement submitted in court. He said he frequently used both the gun room and the firearms, and also instructed others on how to operate the firearms properly. The bargain will lead to charges dropped that pertain to the accused making of threats to officials and FBI agents. Based on court documents, Day had been prohibited from owning weapons and firearms because of his history of violent crimes. The defendant, who has served two years in detention, could receive a highest sentence of up to 15 years imprisonment in prison or a penalty of $250,000 (A$381,500), but the agreement stipulates he will be judged under the minimum range of the legal sentencing standards.
