Guy Edward Bartkus carried out a vehicle explosion outside a fertility clinic in Palm Springs, allegedly driven by anti-natalist beliefs. His writings expressed anti-pro-life sentiments and suggested a nihilistic worldview. The explosion severely damaged the American Reproductive Centers clinic and created chaos in the vicinity. FBI officials confirmed the suspect died in the blast, which has been described as one of the largest bombing scenes in Southern California. Two firearms were recovered near the scene, and investigators continue to analyze Bartkus's motivations and mental state.
"This was a targeted attack against the IVF facility," Davis said Sunday. "Make no mistake: we are treating this, as I said yesterday, as an intentional act of terrorism."
"His writings seemed to indicate anti-natalist views, which hold that people should not continue to procreate," authorities said.
"It was a pretty crazy explosive. You could definitely feel it," Nima Tabrizi said. "It was pretty wild."
The blast gutted the American Reproductive Centers fertility clinic and shattered the windows of nearby buildings along a palm tree-lined street.
