A suspect believed to have carried out the bombing outside a California fertility clinic on Saturday has been identified as 25-year-old Guy Edward Bartkus.
Bartkus has been named as a suspect in the bombing outside a Palm Springs fertility clinic, two law enforcement sources familiar with the investigation told KCAL News.
He also allegedly stated in writings and recordings that he was a “pro-mortalist” — or against bringing people into the world against their will, the sources added.
The bombing, just outside the American Reproductive Center, an IVF clinic in Palm Springs, left one person dead and several others injured. The incident is being investigated as an act of terrorism, officials said.
The bomb used in the attack was reportedly a large, vehicle-borne improvised explosive device that created a blast residents could feel over a mile away.
The sources said Bartkus is a resident of Twentynine Palms, home to a large marine base about an hour from Palm Springs.
Authorities have searched Bartkus’ home, the sources said.
