Guy Bartkus, police name ‘pro-mortalist’ as suspect in Palm Springs IVF clinic explosion

25-year-old Guy Edward Bartkus has been named as a suspect in the bombing outside a Palm Springs fertility clinic. Bartkus allegedly stated in writings and recordings that he was against bringing people into the world against their will. The bombing, just outside the American Reproductive Center in Palm Springs around 11 a.m., left one person dead and several others injured. An AK-47 and an AR-platform rifle were recovered from the scene of the explosion. The blast gutted the IVF clinic, which was housed in a single-story building. The FBI and San Bernardino County Sheriff’s deputies have also searched Bartkus’ home. Authorities are set to provide more information during a local time press conference at 10:30am local time on Sunday at the FBI Los Angeles field office. The incident is being investigated as an act of terrorism, officials said. The explosion damaged the office space, where it conducts consultations with patients, but left all of the stored embryos there unharmed.
