Guy Bartkus, a 25-year-old from Twentynine Palms, was the lone fatality in a bomb blast outside a fertility clinic in Palm Springs, California, on Saturday. The explosion also injured four others, according to authorities.
Law enforcement officials suspect Bartkus was responsible for the attack, although his remains were severely damaged, requiring forensic tests to confirm his identity. The FBI described Bartkus as having nihilistic beliefs, based on online posts and a manifesto recovered during the investigation.
Officials characterized the bombing as a deliberate assault targeted at the IVF clinic. The suspect had no prior known connection to the FBI, and the investigation is ongoing as authorities continue to analyze evidence.
