The FBI has announced that it believes 25-year-old Guy Edward Bartkus is the main suspect in the recent bombing at a fertility clinic in Palm Springs, California. This tragic event left one person dead and four injured, yet miraculously, no embryos were harmed.

Assistant Director Akil Davis from the FBI's Los Angeles field office told reporters on Sunday that Bartkus appears to have had 'nihilistic ideations' and that the attack was premeditated as a terrorist act against the American Reproductive Center.

Authorities revealed that Bartkus likely perished in the blast, which occurred near a parked car. Their investigation suggests that he had been attempting to live-stream the devastating incident.
