MEMORANDUM **

Appellant Kyle Clayton Ray was charged with three counts of murder with a deadly weapon. Ray was fifteen years old at the time. After the state trial court denied his motion to suppress, Ray pled guilty to two counts of murder with a deadly weapon. His plea was' conditioned on his ability to appeal the suppression denial. The Nevada Supreme Court rejected Ray’s appeal. Ray then filed a 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas petition in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada. Ray seeks review of the district court’s denial of his petition. The parties are familiar with the facts and we do not repeat them in great detail here.

We review the district court’s decision to deny a 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas petition de novo. Beardslee v. Woodford, 358 F.3d 560, 568 (9th Cir. 2004) (as amended). Findings of fact made by the district court are reviewed for clear error. Riley v. Payne, 352 F.3d 1313, 1317 (9th Cir. 2003). Because Ray filed his petition after April 16,1996, the provisions of the Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act (“AEDPA”) govern this case. Stevenson v. Lewis, 384 F.3d 1069, 1071 (9th Cir. 2004). Under AEDPA we can only grant Ray’s petition if the state court decision was either “contrary to” or an “unreasonable application” of clearly established Supreme Court precedent. 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d); Williams v. Taylor, 529 U.S. 362, 380-82, 384-86, 120 S.Ct. 1495, 146 L.Ed.2d 389 (2000). As to the “unreasonable application” analysis we ask whether the state court’s decision was an objectively unreasonable application. Id. at 409.

Ray claims that the state court was objectively unreasonable in determining that statements he made to an officer upon his arrest relating to the location of the murder weapon were not subject to suppression because his right to warnings under Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 86 S.Ct. 1602, 16 L.Ed.2d 694 (1966), was violated. The state court held that though Ray was “in custody” and subjected to interrogation, the New York v. Quarles, 467 U.S. 649, 656, 104 S.Ct. 2626, 81 L.Ed.2d 550 (1984), public-safety exception excused the officer’s failure to issue Miranda warnings because the “officer[] ask[ed] questions reasonably prompted by a concern for the public safety.” Under the circumstances of this case, we hold that the state court’s determination was not objectively unrea*642sonable where the officer came across a triple homicide suspect, and the officer’s questions were limited to whether Ray had a gun on or near him.

We decline to broaden the Certificate of Appealability beyond this question.

AFFIRMED.
